Welcome to the second part in an 11 part series titled “Science & the Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This second lesson highlights the case for intelligent design within the scientific community, the scientific probability problems of evolutionary theory, the scriptural problems with the theistic evolution and God’s nature as a Creator based on descriptions from scripture.

The popular narrative is that evolutionary theory is widely accepted as fact among scientists and even among Christian where theistic evolution is becoming more prominent. However there are many scientists, including atheists, who, when considering the mathematical probability and complexity of the universe, admit life is nothing short of a miracle and the existence of an intelligent designer is possible. Theistic evolution runs into conflict with Old and New Testament descriptions of God as a Creator. Evolutionary Theory runs into conflict with mathematics and scientific probability. The Bible is not a science textbook but it is essential for us to recognize when it is describing the natural world and the processes God has designed that we observe as physics, biology, meteorology and others. These descriptions are correct and will be explored in more detail in the following lessons.

My goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3
