Science vs. Christianity

With Intelligent Design receiving more news these days, let me bring a helpful quote to light from Craig Branch, Director of the Apologetics Resource Center.

"I want to affirm that there is no real conflict between true Science and Christianity. The conflict arises when one moves from science to scientism, a philosophical atheistic presupposition, and when one fails to recognize the limitations of science due to our human finitude. The Psalmist writes, 'The heavens are telling of the glory of God and their expanse is declaring the works of His hands' (Psalm 19:1). And as Paul tells us, everyone knows that there is an omnipotent, omniscient Creator through observing His creation and that God has given His image bearers an awareness of absolute morality and ethics. He goes on to warn that it is man's sinfulness, his rebellion, that suppresses these truths (Rom. 1:18-25; 2:14-16)."

This quote comes from the January-February 2005 issue of Areopagus Journal, published by the Apologetics Resource Center. The articles in this issue provide strength and support to Mr. Branch's thesis, including an article by renown author Nancy Pearcy called "The War that Wasn't: Why Christianity is a Science-Starter."
