In my last blog, I brought up that the bible story matches the scientific theory about the Creation. I didn’t mean that it matched up exactly, I just noticed that the order of how things came about matches. Starting with the land and then leading to life. The way that these things developed differ in the stories, since science says that life came from different gases in the atmosphere, and in the bible God created all of it. But the order of things is similar.

In an article published by Criss L. Cox at http://www.associatedcontent.com she says, “Science is the study of how things work. Faith in God is the belief there is a Higher Power watching over us. Science studies how the things God created work. Where is the conflict?”

This controversy between science and religion may not all be that simple, but she makes a good point. For those of us who believe in a higher power, we can see that science is just studying the things that the higher power created in this world. There must be some scientists who believe in God or some other higher power, so why do they not see this connection? I believe it is because people search for something other than faith to tell them how and why things work the way they do, which is fair, but incorporating both should be twice as helpful, should it not? We can have the facts discovered by those researching it, but having faith to back it up can make it even better. The Creation is an example of this. One can read the bible to know the story, but study the scientific facts to know more about it and decide which part they believe.
