Recently I listened to a discourse that portrayed science as the enemy of faith. It was as if scientists were out to destroy any connection between one’s walk with God and the world that He created. How very strange this seems. It seems to me those of us who love the Lord, who maintain He is the Creator of all things physical, should be fascinated and excited each time something new is discovered. Each new scientific idea, which if it is true science, is an unbiased attempt to understand our world and how it functions. Each new discovery is another facet into the mind of Him that lives within us and enables us to be more like Him.
The problem seems to be that sometimes we need to make adaptations to our faith and that causes some to fear if they give up a little they are on a slippery road to giving up everything. But, this need not be the case at all. Instead, each adaptation brings us into a more realistic and deeper understanding of our Creator. There is nothing sinister about saying, “I used to believe that way. Now I believe this way.” Remember the verse in Proverbs 3:8 that says, “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” The more scientific facts we know, the deeper is our love for the incredible Mind that designed it.
Change is not necessarily bad. When the geocentric concept of the universe was disproven by Galileo and other inquiring minds, mankind had an opportunity to see the wonder of God’s true design. Hebrews 1 just gets more exciting when it speaks of Jesus being the maker of worlds. What an awesome Jesus.
