Integration between the Christian Creation Story and the Scientific Big Bang Theory

Accordingly, a religious person is devout in the sense that he has no doubt of the significance and loftiness of those super personal objects and goals which neither require nor are capable of rational foundation. They exist with the same necessity and matter-of-factness as he himself. In this sense religion is the age-old endeavour of mankind to become clearly and completely conscious of these values and goals and constantly to strengthen and extend their effect. If one conceives of religion and science according to these definitions then a conflict between them appears impossible. For science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value judgments of all kinds remain necessary. Religion, on the other hand, deals only with evaluations of human thought and action: it cannot justifiably speak of facts and relationships between facts. According to this interpretation the well-known conflicts between religion and science in the past must all be ascribed to a misapprehension of the situation which has been described.

When dwelling into the explorations about science and religion, one can find it quite amusing. "If science and religion are to continue to coexist it seems opposed to the conditions of modern thought to admit that this result can be brought about by the so-called

Throughout Collins’s book he goes through many topics that have been a barrier between science and religion for a long time. I agree with many of Collins’s viewpoints when stuck in-between science and religion. This includes his view on the origins of the universe.

Ultimately, Consolmagno argues that various perspectives are required when examining the natural world. Without more than one perspective, it would be foolish for us to believe that what we see is the truth. Specifically, he marks the importance between religion and science. Science and religion are intertwined fields of study that, when used appropriately, lead to the best understanding of our role and place in the

The beginning of the 17th century was characterized as the “Scientific Revolution”, which initiated the foundation of conflicts between religion and scientific consideration (Moss, 1983). This era had major phases of transformation within this early modern period; religion, philosophy, and science equally influenced each other. During this time, the Bible was viewed as the “standard” etiquette regarding natural occurrences.

Objection 1: In 1820, fossils were identified and many began to argue that their very existence discredits Biblical truth. When geologists began to realize that the discovered fossil records were incredibly old, the separation between science and the theologians was increased. They were much older than the creation story in the Bible claimed. The scientists found that the creature, which walked, called Australopithecus, slightly resembling an ape, resided in the Middle East and in east Africa, approximately four to five million years ago. After this, scientists believe Homo erectus, a

     Where are the boundaries of our mind and soul? Is there a point beyond which we cannot look anymore, where our sights become dim and vaguely disappear in the forever darkness and quietness of eternity? Has our limited knowledge and, at the same time, undeniable need to be able to explain everything, become so obvious and intense that we have to have the answer to every question out there? Religion sometimes may present the answer to our questions, but can one sincerely search for our beginnings by strictly following His word?

During the twentieth century people began to believe that all human knowledge was scientific knowledge. Research either proved or disproved theories of the earth’s origin. People began to question the supremacy of science on the basis of the very premises that brought it to power, namely, objectivity, and rationality. 1. These developments created a resurgence of interest in philosophy as a discipline. For theology as a discipline, it presented an opportunity for acceptance and credibility. While remaining true to the tradition of our faith it is imperative that we theologize in such a way as to bring to Christianity integrity and an intellectual uniqueness that integrates and gives sense to the varied and diverse dimensions of the modern experience. One can exercise critical thinking and still hold fast to fundamental persuasions and ties of faith. To practice one’s faith responsibly, a person requires an understanding of philosophical

The question whether advancements in science and technology make the religious explanations of reality is one of the big question and has triggered heated discussions and debates (Tremlin, 2012). I support the great work of world’s top higher learning institutions and universities in the fields such as theoretical cosmology, physics, cognitive science, evolutionary biology and social science that relate to forgiveness, love, purpose, creativity, nature and origin of religious beliefs. I encourage the informed and open-minded discussion between theologians and scientists as they relate themselves to the most profound issues their specific discipline. And in a more particular way I seek to motivate fresh thinking about the creation of wealth and developing the world, programs that are aimed at cultivation talents of the gifted, and character education in Universities and schools. In this paper, I will explain why the primitive theories still hold despite the advancements in technology.

Science is the fundamental backbone to understanding how the world works. From the start of historic civilizations to modern era, science has evolved drastically and continues to change based off of pre-existing notions formulated by pre-existing notions to those. This cycle of taking ideas that have been previously established and creating new and falsifiable hypotheses revolve around scientific paradigms. These scientific paradigms provide accepted models that give scientists a starting point, per se, for further research and progression beyond that point.

Throughout the many years I have attended High Point, I have been taught that the Bible is the absolute truth and authority in this fallen world. This includes the Biblical teaching of Creationism, which is the belief that the universe and life originated from the acts of a divine creator. Furthermore, this opposes evolution, which teaches that life originated naturally through the changes of heritable characteristics over multiple generations. Personally, I have fully accepted the teachings of the Bible and Creationism by faith, as both have proven to be accurate historically, scientifically, and philosophically. For this reason, I perceive the world around me with a Christian worldview.

Famous cosmologist Carl Sagan once said, “Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.” In modern culture, science has been turned into a religious rulebook that “helps” guide people to a perfect world, free from pain and suffering. This is, however, not true, as the Bible is the only rulebook and guide that can help guide a person to righteousness and to true perfection. In the book, Scientific Mythologies: How Science and Science Fiction Forge New Religious Beliefs, the author James A. Herrick looks to dispel several common myths related to science and how it conflicts and complements Christianity.

Christian creation over the decades had been greatly impacted. Not only from the different generations coming along and changing all the ru8les and beliefs but from Darwin’s theory of evolution. Science has put a dent in the Christian creation.

Since the dawn of mankind religion has been one of the most significant elements of a society’s social and cultural beliefs and actions. However, this trend has declined due to the general increase in knowledge regarding our the natural sciences. Where we had previously attributed something that we didn’t understand to the working of a higher power, is now replaced by a simple explanation offered by natural sciences. While advocates of Religion may question Natural Sciences by stating that they are based on assumptions, it is important to note the Natural Sciences are based on theories and principles which can be proven using mathematical equations and formulas. Faith however contrasts from the easily visible feasibility of data

Try to relate faith and science seems not an easy task but very interesting from the point of view in which it operates the current society. Scientific progress is now rapid and dramatic. Many of the events of the twentieth century and of the XXI seemed impossible for the men who lived not long ago. In some cases these technological advances would be considered in the antiquity as miracles or witchcraft. Before the scientific breakthrough was unstoppable, we should ask ourselves how each scientific progress involves a delay in the religious belief in Faith? Perhaps the attempt to think the answer to this question and consider whether the concepts of science and faith are opposites are some premises compelling enough to have chosen this theme
