The Christian Origins of Science
Some people say that science and the Bible oppose each other. But did you know that much of modern science actually comes from the Bible? Proverbs 1:7 says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." Bacon, Newton, Kepler and other founders of modern science believed in the Bible. Isaac Newton spent more time writing Bible commentary than science papers. Modern science came from the belief that God created the universe. And if there was intelligence behind it, then the universe was intelligible. The same God who revealed Himself in the Word, revealed Himself also in the creation. Making it worthy of study because it could be understood. From Bacon to Newton to Albert Einstein, the belief in God was critical for modern science to come about. So don't believe it when people say the Bible and science don't go together. The ancient words: "The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom" are still true. We have an intelligent God and the more you reverence Him, the more intelligent you'll be. In God you'll be wiser than Einstein.
From Message #500 - The Beginning of Wisdom
Seek the Lord's wisdom throughout your day today. He will give it to you generously.
