Science and Christianity aren't enemies—they're allies pointing to the same truth: God created an orderly, discoverable universe
Modern culture presents a false choice: Science OR faith. Reason OR belief. You must choose between intellectual integrity and spiritual commitment.
Many of history's greatest scientists were devoted Christians. Leading contemporary scientists maintain orthodox Christian faith. Far from being opposed, faith and science are complementary ways of understanding reality.
The very foundation of modern science emerged from Christian assumptions:
The universe is orderly (created by a rational God)
The universe is knowable (humans made in God's image can understand it)
Investigation is valuable (studying God's handiwork reveals the Creator)
Truth is objective (reflecting God's nature)
The Big Bang theory confirms the universe began ~13.8 billion years ago from a singularity. Before that, there was no matter, energy, space, or time. The universe is not eternal.
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). The Bible has always taught the universe had a beginning—confirmed by modern cosmology.
If the universe began, it needs a cause outside itself. An eternal, spaceless, timeless, immaterial, powerful, personal God fits the evidence perfectly.
The scientific revolution wasn't opposed to faith—it was built BY faithful Christians.

Christianity birthed modern science. The belief in a rational God who created an orderly universe motivated scientists to study it.
Science answers "HOW." Christianity answers "WHY." They're not competing but complementary.
Science operates on Christian assumptions: the universe is rational, orderly, discoverable, and governed by laws—all stemming from a lawgiving Creator.
The conflict is NOT science vs. Christianity but naturalism (atheistic worldview) vs. theism. Science itself is neutral and works within both frameworks.
Different Christians hold different scientific models. All can maintain orthodox faith. The key is that God is the Creator.
God created billions of years ago; evolution compatible with Genesis
God guided evolutionary processes as creative mechanism
God directly guided creation at key points (origin of life, consciousness)
God created recently; literal Genesis interpretation
God is the Creator. Creation reveals God's design. Science and Scripture can both point to truth. Humility is required about both biblical and scientific interpretations.
Reveals God's character, God's plan of salvation, moral will, and how to have a relationship with God
Reveals God's design, power, wisdom, and created order visible to all people
Science tells us HOW creation works.
Faith tells us WHY creation exists and what it means.
Science answers "how?"
Faith answers "why?" and "who?"
The greatest minds in history understood this integration. They saw their scientific work as exploring God's handiwork, thinking God's thoughts, revealing divine intelligence, and worshipping through discovery. Modern science continues this pattern, with evidence consistently pointing toward God.
