Question

Which is more believable: Bible or Science?

Answer 1

Bible -   Science has been changing since the first scientist.  Remember when they used to believe the earth was flat?  The Bible has not changed.  Scientific discoveries constantly prove the inerrancy of the Bible.  Look up how many scientists throughout history have been devout believers.

Here is a website started by an astrophysicist, Dr. Hugh Ross, Ph.D.

whats wrong with goldilocks and the three bears?

Answer 3

That depends on what we are talking about in the Bible.  Was the World literally created in 6 Days, like 6 rotations of the Earth?  I doubt it.  But quite often, Science and the Bible agree on many scientific concepts.  For example, the shape of the Earth, the fact that it sits on nothing, the splitting of the Continents--while I don't know about the timing.  

The Great Flood, while not yet scientifically proven, is an account had among all nations and cultures in the world, suggesting that at some point nearly all of Humanity was wiped off the Face of the Earth.  

The History of the Kings and Rulers of Israel, as well as the existence of the Patriarchs is real.

So that's kind of a trick question.

God uses of laws of science, just like any scientist, but he knows the higher laws that can overcome the known laws, for example how magnetism can cause an object to defy gravity.  They are often both believable in their respective areas of expertise.

Now as for evolution--while it is interesting to note the many similarities between ancient and modern creatures, and how close genetically we all are to eachother, the Fossil Record suggest steps up in development, rather than an even, gradual change in creatures.

So we can't rule out creation yet.  Also, we do not know how Non-life became life.  We can have amino acids, but how do we make the protiens act as a living organism?

To be perfectly scientific, because it cannot be proven that God does not exist, we can hypothesize that he does exist.  There are ways to test this, but because of the personal nature of faith and religion, it cannot be double-blind tested like most science experiments, so some don't take the matter very seriously.

Answer 4

science

Answer 5

As someone with a Bach.S. in Physics, I have to say this:

Science is more believable when concerning a verifiable *law* of science.

Science is *compelling* when a logical theory with supporting evidence exists, but putting your *faith* in such theories is far more than science deserves, especially considering the tremendous number of scientific theories with popular support throughout history that have been proven fallacious.  Scientific theory is simply not deserving of our faith.

The bible, on the other hand, can *only* be accepted (for the most part) on faith.  Only a fairly small amount of the history recorded in the bible has significant archaeological evidence supporting it.  However, unlike the scientific flavor of the month (or century), the bible has retained its reliability throughout several centuries.  In other words, the bible is far more *deserving* of our faith than science theory.

It is no surprise, therefore, that science does not disagree with the bible at any point.  Only scientific theory, and proposals based on such theories, are contrary to literal scripture.

Answer 6

It's easier for people to believe in science even though the scientific community has been wrong countless times. Most people refuse to believe in God even though there is overwhelming evidence of intelligent design. This is because of the spiritual condition of mankind. We are born sinners---enemies of God, and unless he reveals himself to someone, they will never believe. Only a fool would say in his heart that there is no God. I grow weary of the oft repeated "fairytale" mantra. It's a fairytale when a frog instantly turns into a prince, but if it takes "millions of years" for that to happen, why then that's science! What a joke.

Answer 7

Neither.  As John Paul II said, "Truth cannot contradict truth."  Science explains the physical truth of the world, and the Bible explains the spiritual truth of the world.
