Study of the relationship between the Bible and the natural sciences

Abstract

Scope and Nature of Report: Through the study of the relationship between the Bible and the Natural Sciences many concepts of nature are considered. An approach is made through the history of the situation in order that the differences concerned are brought to light. The testimonials of outstanding scientists from different areas of natural science are presented. Many of these scientists are responsible for controversial theories such as the theory of evolution. Evolution is evidence both in biology and in geology. The present laws of human conservation are based upon scientific discovery, but were practiced by the Jews under God's direction. The physical laws of conservation are the means by which God has helped man progress. The natural resources are the provisions by which man has subsisted. The physical sciences present many interesting questions with Scriptural reference. Among these are the shape of the earth, the length of the day, the origin of the earth, and the natural cycles.

Findings and Conclusions: When the scientist was finally able to publish his discoveries, many new idea caused the old concepts to be thrown out. The testimonials of scientists disprove old ideas about the atheistic scientist. These testimonials prove that the nearness to nature causes a nearness to God. The many laws of nature have Scriptural references and some are in detail. The theory of evolution is outlined in the first chapter of Genesis. It is proven in the embryo of the human, and it is in evidence in the crust of the earth. Human conservation is ordered by God in both the Old and the New Testaments. The conservation of our natural resources is mentioned in the Bible. The first chapter of Genesis tells the story of the Creation of the Universe. In fact, the Bible, although not a textbook, reveals the secrets of nature.
