Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scientist explores the harmony between Christian faith and science Though some Christians and many skeptics see science and Christianity as locked in a never-ending battle, geologist Gregg Davidson contends that there is tremendous harmony between Scripture and modern science. Many apparent conflicts arise when the Bible is interpreted apart from its literary and historical contexts, but when these are taken into account, most alleged clashes resolve. Proceeding from a belief that Scripture is inspired and without error and that God's creation should inform how we interpret the Bible, Davidson shows that Scripture and science need not disagree on issues like the age of the earth, Adam and Eve, Noah's flood, the origin and development of life, and numerous related topics. Rather, Christians can rejoice at how God's glory is revealed in both the Bible and the natural world.

Download or read book Reconciliation of the Conflicts Between Science and the Bible written by Cheng Yeng Hung Ph D and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-21 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using scientific evidence and Biblical revelations, this book reconciles the conflicts between science and the Bible on the earth's age and the origin of our ancestors. Additionally, the book resolves the disputes between the Young Earth Creationists and the Old Earth Creationists, proves the Bible is the word of God, and restores respect for the integrity of the Bible. After identifying lack of updated technology as a major obstruction to reconciliation, the author introduces evidence from DNA studies, as well as an authentic corrective model, Hung's mathematic model. Based on this model, the earth's age was corrected from 4.5 billion years to 220,000 years, and the timeline of the origination of our original ancestor, archaic Homo sapiens, was corrected from 300,000 years ago to 5,000 years ago. In addition, based on the result of existing DNA research, the author concluded that (1) We have two-tier ancestors, archaic Homo sapiens as the original ancestor, Homo sapiens as the direct ancestor, and (2) the appearance of archaic Homo sapiens has no connection with Homo erectus. In other words, the DNA studies denied that archaic Homo sapiens was evolved from Homo erectus. This means that Darwin's Evolution theory is not applicable to identifying the source of our ancestors anymore. This is because Darwin's evolution theory is a statistical theory, but not a dynamic scientific theory. When the DNA dynamic theory is considered, the evolution theory should no longer be applicable. Therefore, the evolution theory should be ignored, displaced by DNA test results. On the other hand, the Bible had also revealed that the life span of our ancestors had changed drastically-from around a 900-year level to a 100-year level after Noah's flood (Genesis 11and others). With this as evidence, the book also verifies that we had two-tier ancestors, Adam as the original ancestor, and Arphaxad, who was born two years after the flood, as our direct ancestor. Considering that (1) our original ancestor, archaic Homo sapiens, as claimed by scientists, was not evolved from Homo erectus; (2) archaic Homo sapiens appeared about 5,000 years ago (after correction by Hung's model) which is nearly identical to the time of Adam's death (calculated based on the Bible to be approximately 5,100 years ago); and (3) Adam was created by our almighty God (Genesis 1:27), the book concludes that our original ancestor, archaic Homo sapiens, is equivalent to Adam. Since Adam was created by our God, therefore archaic Homo sapiens was created by our God as well. Consequently, the conflict between science and the Bible regarding the origin of our ancestors is hereby reconciled. Hallelujah! The key to reconciling the earth's-age conflict was to verify the various creations that our God performed in between God's initial creation (Genesis 1:1) and His six-day creation (Genesis 1:2). Although these creations were revealed indirectly in the Bible (Isaiah 45:18, Ezekiel 28: 12-14, Jeremiah 4: 23-26), the best way to prove these creations was to identify each creation from scientific evidence recorded in historical geology. The book traces back the creation of the earth and each of the biological species up to Homo erectus, and calculates the time interval between the creation of the earth and the extinction of Homo erectus. Since this time interval was calculated from historical geological records to be 214,000 years, and the Bible had never revealed it, the book concludes that the Bible has never revealed when our God created the earth. Therefore, the scientists' claim that the age of earth is 220,000 years did not have any conflict with the Biblical revelation at all. In other words, the conflict between science and the Bible regarding the earth's age is hereby reconciled. Hallelujah!

Download or read book Galileo and the Conflict between Religion and Science written by Gregory W. Dawes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 30 years, historians have rejected what they call the ‘warfare thesis’ – the idea that there is an inevitable conflict between religion and science – insisting that scientists and believers can live in harmony. This book disagrees. Taking as its starting point the most famous of all such conflicts, the Galileo affair, it argues that religious and scientific communities exhibit very different attitudes to knowledge. Scripturally based religions not only claim a source of knowledge distinct from human reason. They are also bound by tradition, insist upon the certainty of their beliefs, and are resistant to radical criticism in ways in which the sciences are not. If traditionally minded believers perceive a clash between what their faith tells them and the findings of modern science, they may well do what the Church authorities did in Galileo’s time. They may attempt to close down the science, insisting that the authority of God’s word trumps that of any ‘merely human’ knowledge. Those of us who value science must take care to ensure this does not happen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this secular, polarized world, the gulf between creationists and scientists has never been wider. The conflicts between the words of the Bible and the findings of modern science seem overwhelming. In this extraordinary book, Emil Bretz draws on his experience and his familiarity with the principles of quantum mechanics to show that the differences are primarily those of perspective. When correctly interpreted, the findings of modern quantum mechanics do not conflict with the Bible, but confirm The Harmony of Creation and Science.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution--or the broader topic of origins--has enormous relevance to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret Scripture. Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing four key positions: Young Earth Creationism - Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis) Old Earth (Progressive) Creationism - Hugh Ross (Reasons to Believe) Evolutionary Creation - Deborah B. Haarsma (BioLogos) Intelligent Design - Stephen C. Meyer (The Discovery Institute) The contributors offer their best defense of their position addressing questions such as: What is your position on origins - understood broadly to include the physical universe, life, and human beings in particular? What do you take to be the most persuasive arguments in defense of your position? How do you demarcate and correlate evidence about origins from current science and from divine revelation? What hinges on answering these questions correctly? This book allows each contributor to not only present the case for his or her view, but also to critique and respond to the critiques of the other contributors, allowing you to compare their beliefs in an open forum setting to see where they overlap and where they differ.

Book excerpt: Are the worlds of science and religion irreconcilable? Has modern science with its theory of evolution disproved the biblical account of the origin of life? If one accepts the biblical account of origins, does one then have to reject science? Scientist and Christian believer Ariel A. Roth argues that taken together, science and religion give us a more complete and sensible understanding of the world around us, our place in it, and our ultimate meaning and fate. Roth examines such topics as the evidence for evolution and creation, the Flood, the strengths and limitations of the scientific method, and the reliability of Scripture. He concludes that the biblical model of a recent creation by God leaves fewer unanswered questions then either science's evolutionary model or any view between the two positions, such as progressive creation or theistic evolution. - Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God deserves obedience simply because he’s God—or does he? Inspired by a passion for biblical as well as constitutional scholarship, in this bold exploration Yale Law Professor Robert A. Burt conceptualizes the political theory of the Hebrew and Christian Bibles. God’s authority as expressed in these accounts is not a given. It is no less inherently problematic and in need of justification than the legitimacy of secular government. In recounting the rich narratives of key biblical figures—from Adam and Eve to Noah, Cain, Abraham, Moses, Job, and Jesus—In the Whirlwind paints a surprising picture of the ambivalent, mutually dependent relationship between God and his peoples. Taking the Hebrew and Christian Bibles as a unified whole, Burt traces God’s relationship with humanity as it evolves from complete harmony at the outset to continual struggle. In almost every case, God insists on unconditional obedience, while humanity withholds submission and holds God accountable for his promises. Contemporary political theory aims for perfect justice. The Bible, Burt shows, does not make this assumption. Justice in the biblical account is an imperfect process grounded in human—and divine—limitation. Burt suggests that we consider the lessons of this tension as we try to negotiate the power struggles within secular governments, and also the conflicts roiling our public and private lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Click here to visit evolutionandchristianfaith.org "I'm an evolutionary biologist and a Christian," states Stanford professor Joan Roughgarden at the outset of her groundbreaking new book, Evolution and Christian Faith: Reflections of an Evolutionary Biologist. From that perspective, she offers an elegant, deeply satisfying reconciliation of the theory of evolution and the wisdom of the Bible. Perhaps only someone with Roughgarden's unique academic standing could examine so well controversial issues such as the teaching of intelligent design in public schools, or the potential flaws in Darwin's theory of evolution. Certainly Roughgarden is uniquely suited to reference both the minutiae of scientific processes and the implication of Biblical verses. Whether the topic is mutation rates and lizards or the hidden meanings behind St. Paul's letters, Evolution and Christian Faith distils complex arguments into everyday understanding. Roughgarden has scoured the Bible and scanned the natural world, finding examples time and again, not of conflict, but of harmony. The result is an accessible and intelligent context for a Christian vision of the world that embraces science. In the ongoing debates over creationism and evolution, Evolution and Christian Faith will be seen as a work of major significance, written for contemporary readers who wonder how-or if-they can embrace scientific advances while maintaining their traditional values.

Download or read book The Warfare between Science & Religion written by Jeff Hardin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “very welcome volume” of essays questioning the presumption of irreconcilable conflict between science and religion (British Journal for the History of Science). The “conflict thesis”—the idea that an inevitable, irreconcilable conflict exists between science and religion—has long been part of the popular imagination. The Warfare between Science and Religion assembles a group of distinguished historians who explore the origin of the thesis, its reception, the responses it drew from various faith traditions, and its continued prominence in public discourse. Several essays examine the personal circumstances and theological idiosyncrasies of important intellectuals, including John William Draper and Andrew Dickson White, who through their polemical writings championed the conflict thesis relentlessly. Others consider what the thesis meant to different religious communities, including evangelicals, liberal Protestants, Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Finally, essays both historical and sociological explore the place of the conflict thesis in popular culture and intellectual discourse today. Based on original research and written in an accessible style, the essays in The Warfare between Science and Religion take an interdisciplinary approach to question the historical relationship between science and religion, and bring much-needed perspective to an often-bitter controversy. Contributors include: Thomas H. Aechtner, Ronald A. Binzley, John Hedley Brooke, Elaine Howard Ecklund, Noah Efron, John H. Evans, Maurice A. Finocchiaro, Frederick Gregory, Bradley J.

Download or read book Genesis and the Big Bang Theory written by Gerald Schroeder and published by Bantam. This book was released on 1991-12-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking book that takes on skeptics from both sides of the cosmological debate, arguing that science and the Bible are not at odds concerning the origin of the universe. The culmination of a physicist's thirty-five-year journey from MIT to Jerusalem, Genesis and the Big Bang presents a compelling argument that the events of the billions of years that cosmologists say followed the Big Bang and those of the first six days described in Genesis are, in fact, one and the same—identical realities described in vastly different terms. In engaging, accessible language, Dr. Schroeder reconciles the observable facts of science with the very essence of Western religion: the biblical account of Creation. Carefully reviewing and interpreting accepted scientific principles, analogous passages of Scripture, and biblical scholarship, Dr. Schroeder arrives at a conclusion so lucid that one wonders why it has taken this long in coming. The result for the reader—whether believer or skeptic, Jewish or Christian—is a totally fresh understanding of the key events in the life of the universe.
