Faith and science have a long, complicated relationship. Many Christians look suspiciously at the sciences, believing them to be contrary to their core convictions. Many scientists look suspiciously at faith, believing it to be nothing more than superstition.
Is it possible to reconcile faith and science? If so, how?
Bruce Ashford has published four helpful articles on this question here at Intersect. We’ve collected them below for your convenience.
(You can also join us on Feb. 21-22 for a conference that tackles these questions and more.)
Three Biblical Truths that Caused Modern Science to Flourish
Though some scientists argue that science and theology are incompatible, Christianity actually played a significant role in the rise of modern science and is hospitable to science and scientists. Read More>>
Are Science and Theology Incompatible? Responses to 4 Common Claims
Christianity played a significant role in the rise of modern science and is hospitable to science and scientists. Yet not everyone sees it that way. Some scientists argue that the claims of science and theology are incompatible — that science trumps theology, and that theology is no longer credible in the modern world. Are they right? Read More>>
Why Science and Theology Should Be Partners, Not Enemies
The best way to view science and theology is as mutually beneficial dialogue partners. We recognize that God is the author of both Scripture and nature. If so, then there should be a partnership between those whose primary object of study is Scripture and those whose primary object of study is nature. Theologians and scientists should dialogue with one another and partner together in seeking to understand reality. Read More>>
What Should You Do When Scientists and Theologians Disagree?
As Christians we believe that there cannot be any real or final conflict between theology and science, because God is the author of both the “book of Scripture” and the “book of nature.” If there is a conflict between certain theologians and certain scientists, it exists because of human error in interpreting Scripture or interpreting nature.

Real science proves God. Unfortunately, today's "scientists" use a false unproven science including a billions of years old earth, evolution, the big bang, the heliocentric view, spinning earth, the Copernican Principle, and others; all these things are not supported by science but actually have been refuted by real science. Today's "science" (which is not science at all) is a blind and unfounded religion of atheism that denies God against all evidence and rejects any evidence that cannot support their presupposition that there is not God. It is a religion of living in denial. If the question is, "Can science, the study of observable evidence in regards to the nature of our reality, be in agreement with the truth about God and the biblical view of the universe?", the answer is a resounding: Yes, because it already is. However, if the question is, "Can modern scientists, and their false views about the nature of the reality of our world, and their unscientific theories for which they attempt to pass as "fact", be in agreement with the truth about God and the biblical view of the universe?", then in this case, the answer is: Absolutely Not. You cannot reason with people (in this case the atheists behind today's false science) who reject the truth and real scientific evidence, and blindly believe in unfounded claims and false theories which are founded only on the false presupposition of the rejection of a Creator God.

Just stumbled across this comment and want to remind everyone that the earth is round, it spins, and it orbits the sun. We use these facts to put satellites in orbits, ascertain when the sun will rise and set throughout the seasons, and predict eclipses.
