Relation of
Science to the Bible |
1. |
Science is reliable for well established, time-tested
principles. Though it is always subject to revision as new data
becomes available. Scientific claims of an unsound theory may
hold for a short time, but the rigors of cross examination and testing
will show it false in time. This gives us reason to trust long
held theories with clear evidence and predictions, and reason to use
caution with new, untested or speculative ideas. |
2. |
The Bible is infallible in it's original form and
intent. Traditions, personal opinion, and expanded
interpretations are subject to human error. This includes models
supported by this website and of those with differing
opinions. Interpretations are not perfect and may require
adjustment as new data is available. Research and
prayer is required for each of us to choose the creation model that
works best. |
3. |
Historical perspectives, context, and scientific
evidence provide
useful tools to aide in the interpretation of scripture. Ignoring
these, can lead to misunderstandings. |
4. |
A complete view of reality necessarily includes
physical and spiritual perspectives. The Bible does not describe every
detail of past events, nor can science fully explain existence or the
nature of God. |
