In discussions about religion and science, this question will often come up: “Don’t science and the Bible contradict each other?” The short answer is, “No.” Science itself is not contradictory to religion—it’s people’s views of science and religion that are contradictory. This post explains the relationship between science and the Bible, and it will help you understand that since the beginning of time, God has been visible in the elements of science.

"Do Science and the Bible Contradict Each Other?" by Pete Briscoe

Read
Romans 1:20

Pray
God, Your creation is amazing. In everything I see from my own life, to the intricacies of the world, to the universe and beyond, I can see Your design. Help me explain to others how You can be seen in all things—even science.

Reflect
Where can I see God most prevalently in science?

Respond
Create an outline about how God can so easily be seen in the elements of science to help you defend the Bible to people who don’t believe in the idea of intelligent design.

Science itself has the ability to prove that God created our world. It’s when you bring people’s beliefs and biases into science that the conversation can get heated. You can use the information in this post to defend your faith to those who believe that science and faith are in opposition. Ultimately, defending your faith comes down to knowing why you believe what you believe and knowing what God says about certain subjects that people try to pick apart. The next post will add to your apologetics toolbox with a list of good Scriptures to use when defending your faith.
