    Welcome to the part in an 11 part series titled “Science & the Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This introduction addresses the claim that “science is the true god” and the problems associated with this claim.

    Science is a process of discovering how the world works but we seldom stop to think on the actual process and its limitations. Science has changed and even flip flops its stance on a regular basis. There are also some areas of science which take on more philosophical approaches as complex theories become impossible to test with the traditional scientific method. Science and faith seem to mix a lot more often than we think! And if science is the new religion, how does it stack up to the God of the Bible?

    My goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3

  • SCIENCE & THE BIBLE | Session 01: God The Creator
    Aug 10 2021

    Welcome to the second part in an 11 part series titled “Science & the Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This second lesson highlights the case for intelligent design within the scientific community, the scientific probability problems of evolutionary theory, the scriptural problems with the theistic evolution and God’s nature as a Creator based on descriptions from scripture.

    The popular narrative is that evolutionary theory is widely accepted as fact among scientists and even among Christian where theistic evolution is becoming more prominent. However there are many scientists, including atheists, who, when considering the mathematical probability and complexity of the universe, admit life is nothing short of a miracle and the existence of an intelligent designer is possible. Theistic evolution runs into conflict with Old and New Testament descriptions of God as a Creator. Evolutionary Theory runs into conflict with mathematics and scientific probability. The Bible is not a science textbook but it is essential for us to recognize when it is describing the natural world and the processes God has designed that we observe as physics, biology, meteorology and others. These descriptions are correct and will be explored in more detail in the following lessons.

  • SCIENCE & THE BIBLE | Session 02: Physical Science
    Aug 10 2021

    Welcome to the third part and second session in an 11 part series titled “Science & the Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This third lesson explores Physical Science, the historical development of evolutionary theory and Catastrophism, the Biblical ties to Physical Science and these theories and finally the importance of the first and second law of thermodynamics.

    The theory of Uniformity developed in the 18th century by a Scottish geologist is what eventually gave birth to the theory of Evolution and the idea of an old earth with a long Geological Time Scale. Uniformity cannot be tested because of its long time scale. In contrast Catastrophism, a much older and easily observable geological view, takes the perspective that the earth is not as old and is geologically shaped by catastrophes such as floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. How do these two views change our interpretation of evidence like the Grand Canyon? How do these theories stack up against Physics and laws of thermodynamics?

  • SCIENCE & THE BIBLE | Session 04: Geology
    Aug 10 2021

    Welcome to Session 4 in our 11 part series titled “Science & the Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This lesson examines more closely the field of Geology, its historical development and the geological descriptions that can be found in the Bible. The Bible does not have much to say on geology but the little it does is striking. For instance, Isaiah describes the earth as if he’s describing the theory of Isostasy. The nature and location of fossils across the globe from aquatic creatures in the Himalayas to jelly fish in central Wisconsin point to evidence of a worldwide catastrophe, mirroring the account of Noah’s flood. This lesson also addresses the problems with Flat Earth theory being embraced by some Christian leaders and the misuse of scripture.

  • SCIENCE & THE BIBLE | Session 05: Oceanography
    Aug 20 2021

    Download the full lesson and Power Point at: https://courses.evidence4faith.org/sciencebible

    Welcome to session5 in our 11 par series “Science & The Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This lesson covers the field of Oceanography and how we came to map currents and the seafloor in addition to some questions regarding the “Sea Monster” from the book of Jonah.

    Many do not know that what inspired American Navy Captain Matthew Maury to sound the ocean floor and map current was a Bible study. Some of the oldest texts of scripture refer to mountains, currents and springs in the ocean while the science of the time taught something entirely different. We know now that the biblical descriptions of the sea were correct all along!

  • EPHESIANS 2:10 | Session 1: The Masterpiece @ Riverside Bible Camp
    Aug 30 2021

    Download the full lesson and resources at: https://courses.evidence4faith.org/ephesians210

    This series is a topical study of Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” The first session explains what it means to be a masterpiece, or “God’s workmanship.” Masterpieces are not created overnight and can be very difficult to work on. In our Christian lives obedience to God can sometimes seem to cause suffering and discomfort. In Corinthians it says the Spirit is making us more like his Son. What does this look like in our daily lives?

  • EPHESIANS 2:10 | Session 2: Why do I Exist? @ Riverside Bible Camp
    Aug 31 2021

    Download the full lesson and resources at: https://courses.evidence4faith.org/ephesians210

    This series is a topical study of Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” This session focuses on what the Bible has to say about our purpose. If God created us, wouldn’t He have a reason? What or who should we be living for? What is the value or our life on earth?
