Category: God and Science

Psalm 147:4 (NKJV) 4 He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.

God is a miraculous God. His creation is an awe-inspiring work that gives us all a small glimpse into His incredible nature.

Science may appear to conflict with what God says and does if we don’t look a little deeper and consider what is really going on.

God’s word says that He created all that we see; the skies, the earth, the planets, the stars, the oceans and so much more.

Science, on a large scale, denies that God created any of this. They believe any number of random theories as to how we came to be.

Oddly, though, science relies on various principles, rules and laws that state very specific absolutes. They will tell us that these rules and absolutes are the foundation of everything we see.

They will also quickly remind us that these absolutes keep everything together and working properly.

And, then in the next breath, science will try to convince us that everything we see just came to be by chance, with no Creator. It just happened. There was chaos. And then there was suddenly this incredible creation that operates on these extremely precise laws and absolutes.

And they are right in one sense. Everything does operate on a very precise set of laws and absolutes.

As a few examples, consider the position of the earth in relation to the sun and the moon. We are perfectly positioned when it comes to our distance from the sun, and even tilted at the perfect angle.

If we were closer, we would burn up. If we were further away, we would freeze.

Consider also, DNA. DNA is extremely complex. No two beings have the exact same DNA. Our DNA has everything about us built into it. It determines our sex, our skin color, our hair color, the color of our eyes, our personality type and so much more.

And despite all of its complexities, and the fact that there are billions of people alive, as well as billions of others who have lived before us, no two people have had the same DNA, ever.

It’s irrational to think that the laws and absolutes of science came to be by random chance. It’s not possible. Instead, it’s important to understand that the very laws followed by scientists were created and set in motion by the same God that so many of them have trouble believing exists.

Job 5:9 (NKJV) 9 Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number.

So, if some of the debates and arguments regarding science and God have ever made you wonder, we hope this will shed some light on the realities of the hows and whys of the incredible God we serve.
