The Bible and Science
Many people think that the Bible is at variance with science. This is not actually true. The Bible is not a scientific book, but the things recorded in the Bible are in harmony with science.
Design
The hallmarks of design are seen in so many ways. Modern studies have revealed that living organisms throughtout nature are extremely well designed for their environment.
Beauty
The colours of flowers, the beauty of scenery, the music of birds, all show the evidence of design
The Variety
of Living Things
"O LORD how manifold are thy works, in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches"
​
(Psalm 104:24)
Liquid Water
Water has an unmatched ability to absorb heat from the sun - critical for regulating earth's surface temperature.The chemical properties of water are also ideally suited to support life. It is able to dissolve and transport nutrients to other living organisms.
PLANET EARTH
Consider the unique features of the earth's atmosphere:
-
It ensures a temperate climate
-
It protects the earth from the sun's radiation
-
It ensures a correct combination of gases for liquid water and complex life
NO OTHER PLANET HAS THIS
ONLY EARTH CAN SUSTAIN LIFE
EYES AND EARS
Just two illustrations of the marvels of the human body
"He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? (Psalm 94:9)
"Was the eye contrived without skill in optics, and the ear without knowledge of sounds?" (Sir Isaac Newton)
The Human Brain
The human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe. It contains over 100 billion cells, each with over 50,000 neuron connections to other brain cells.
This structure receives over 100 million separate signals from the total human body every second. If we learned something new every second of our lives, it would take three million years to exhaust the capacity of the human brain.
The Cell
A living cell is so awesomely complex that its interdependent components stagger the imagination and defy evolutionary explanations. A minimal cell contains over 60,000 proteins of 100 different configurations. The chance of this assemblage occurring by chance is 1 in 104,478,296
