Does Science Hinder Faith?

Topics to Dig Into

Who is He?

What is God like? Who is this man Jesus? How can we understand the Holy Spirit?

The Visible God

God is present and active in our lives, often working through people and ‘coincidences’. Thank and praise Him!

Making it Practical

Following Jesus in today’s world can be challenging. But living according to Jesus’ teaching is incredibly worthwhile. Call it life-changing.

He Knows You

God’s love is unconditional. He knows our hearts and continually invites us into relationship.

Ah-Ha!

Learning about the culture and language of Bible times can reveal new meaning in familiar scriptures. Let’s call them ah-ha moments.

Just
as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby
growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who
does all things.

Ecclesiastes 11:5 (NLT)

Do scientific advancements hinder your faith in a
Creator God?

Weather patterns and fetal development were wildly mysterious
concepts in ancient times. Now we can predict the weather (with questionable
accuracy) and 3D ultrasounds peek at the unborn. Perhaps we need fresh examples
of yet-to-be-discovered mysteries.

Since science explains so many natural phenomenon,
is our wonder of God diminished?

Are we closer to understanding the activity of God?
Is it even possible to understand the God who does all things?

I conjure an image of God whooping and clapping when
we solve a scientific puzzle. Yes, my God whoops in delight. He cheers us on as
we ask deeper questions and uncover new intricacies in His handiwork. His
infinitely complex and precise Creation was meant to be enjoyed, explored and stewarded.

Do
scientific advances increase or diminish your awe of God?
