The internet is
replete with questions and answers concerning the following.
|
God, science,
and the bible, do they relate? Can the bible help us understand
science? Can science help us understand the bible? Science and
the bible, do they contradict each
other? |
Innumerable books,
articles, and periodicals are devoted to rescuing people, who seek
answers, who are perplexed, or who are deceived. This is not just a
noble effort; the answer givers are on a mission of mercy to those who are
confused, they are on a mission of liberation to those who are
deceived. Answer givers are very serious and deeply devoted; they
have spent considerable time and effort; because of this they are
unquestionably convinced that their answers are true, accurate, and
portray reality.
As research is done and answers are sought
for these questions,
people discover differing opinions and polarized views; some answers
are diametrically opposed due to alternate world views and differing
perceptions of reality. Some opposing answers are based on science,
religion, history, philosophy, and even mathematics. While the
unnecessary conflict between religion and science is prevalent,
virtually any combination of the above has caused conflict. Here are
two combinations that have caused conflict worthy of simple explanations
later.

Science and
History Science and
philosophy |
While I am mainly
concerned with questions at the top of this page, the interworking of
science, engineering, and mathematics can not be separated from this
conjunction of scientific and biblical truth. It
might not be as obvious to some but history and philosophy are also
inseparably woven into this fabric; therefore, answers to questions about
God, science, and the Bible must include history, philosophy, and
mathematics. More in-depth math and science will be put on separate pages
with hyperlinks to those pages. I will hyperlink to other websites
for explanations, opinions, and clarifications, many of these could be
opposing views.
Today is Wednesday, January 04, 2006 and I am
involved with a time consuming project at work. I probably won’t get
much done on this till the middle of February and then it will take quite
some time for me to finish, if I ever finish. Since I am a finite
human and I am missing the aptitude for this kind of effort, my hope and
prayer is not to get discouraged. I do have biases and convictions;
however, I want to be fair with opposing views. I pray for the
ability to simply, comprehensibly, and effectively communicate my understanding of this multidimensional interwoven fabric
wherein we exist, and I pray for true understanding. I will
be hyper-linking to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, as a resource of
information. This has both advantages and disadvantages; it is
free and loaded with information; however, almost anyone can edit the
information. There are more reliable resources on the internet but
they require you to sign up; I don't like the idea of hyperlinks not
working because you have to pay or sign up for that service. If
anyone knows of a better solution please send email to
file13@ron-weber.com unusual
email - here is the explanation.
Most people are not scientist, mathematicians, historians, philosophers, engineers, or theologians; I ‘am
sure no one reading this, including myself, has a good grasp on all of
these areas; therefore, research and study of these disciplines
with the goal of knowledge, understanding, and
correlative
reasoning is required of me and would be nice for you. Correlating
information from the various disciplines and accurately distilling it down
for easy reading comprehension could be a task beyond either my resolve or
ability; however, at this point intrigue outweighs
uncertainty. |
