Science And The
Christian The Study Of God's
Creation
True
science is the study of facts, not opinions. When we study things
that we know to be true, we can discover more
facts. Science is also studying what we can see,
to understand that which we cannot see.
Scripture says, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation
of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without
excuse." ...Romans 1:20
Science is actually the study
of God's creation. And proof of the Creator is in all of creation.
So it is very sad that many Christian shy away from science. Our Lord
made all that is. There is nothing that is that He did not
make. Studying God's creation should be top on the list of things to
do for those of us who are His.
If the things of God that are
invisible are clearly seen and understood by things that He made, even the
power of the Godhead (the triune God), then studying the things
that He made is one thing that we should be
doing.
It is no wonder why Satan chose to attack the field of
science. If Satan can get people to question if the things made were
really made at all, then he gets people to question if the Maker of
those things is real. If there is nothing made, then no one made anything,
and there is no one to worship for such things. This includes our very
person. If no one made us, then we have no one to praise for having made
us, no one to thank, and no one to love back.
If such were to be
the case, then we have no one over us to tell us right from wrong. And we
certainly have no need for a Savior for sins to be forgiven, because there
would be no such thing as sin. If there is no Maker, no Creator, no God,
then there is no high authority to say what is and isn't sin. Or is
there?
Just as the government takes over the governing of children
whose parents allow such to happen, so too does the government take
over the position of the highest authority with a people that
allows such to happen. Considering that the government is made up of
humans, it actually elevates man to the most high.
Satan knows God
is real. Satan wanted to be God. Satan also knows that if a person rejects
the true God, that Satan can be in control of that person, hence become
that person's god. Satan also knows that if he can put his own
in high places of government, he can also further the
persecution of biblical Christians.
The teaching that
man evolved from a trail of events that started with something
that came from nothing is taught in public schools. Young children
are taught this at a time when they are very impressionable. When
this teaching is combined with the fact that the government is
doing the raising of most of these children, the psychological impact is
strong. Subconsciously it says the government mommy and daddy
say we come from nothing, are going to nothing, and we are
nothing.
People with no hope are uncivilized and far
easier to rule over. This is because where there is civil unrest, it is
easy to sell the "need" for more laws and less freedom. If God
is not the God of a nation, then the government will be. And since
the government does not have the ability to change a person's heart, the
government will oppress the people and use the bad behavior of people as
cause to do so.
We Christians need to begin to undo the
conditioning that the government has done. We Christians have to
take over the raising of our own children. And along with getting into the
word of God, we have to stop shying away from science. We cannot
let secular science scare us away from true
science.
Humanists claim that Christians and science do not
mix. They say Christians are against science. That is like
saying that because Christians are against false gods, we are
against the true God. It is just ridiculous. Just as we are not
against the true God, we are not against true science. We are against
false science.
Science is the study of our God's creation.
And studying it is a beautiful place to meet with God. When you study that
which God made, you will marvel at God's creativity, His ability, His
beauty and His endlessness. Studying what God has made is an
amazing faith builder. Science is how we can see
the invisible things of God, by the very things that He made.
