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.
