If the Holy Bible compliments good science, we have surely been fed a big lie for decades. It appears there are some people who have made it a practice to keep this important truth away from us. Perhaps it would do us good to re-examine the facts Jesus.
There are 12 assumptions we make when we accept the fact that good science is not in conflict with the Holy Bible.
They are as follows:
1. The Holy Bible as the true Word of God is accurate in its scientific areas;
2. Science is at its best when its goal is to bring glory and honor to God;
3. Science is a part of God's domain command found in Genesis 1:28;
4. Nature is a means of revealing God's attributes;
5. Matter is not eternal, but had a beginning as stated in Genesis 1:1;
6. Origins and why questions cannot be addressed by naturalistic "science;"
7. Life is a gift from God;
8. Knowledge and wisdom begins with a respect for God;
9. God has given to us all we need to be happy and free;
10. Only good scientist can do good science;
11. Science is more productive when we work in cooperation with God; and
12. Anyone who follows these assumptions can be a good scientist.
When these assumptions are accepted, our science takes on a new meaning. Our goal is to use everything we discover through the laws of logical inductive reasoning to elevate the health and prosperity of all people. Science become a servant that bows to the moral and spiritual laws addressed in the Ten Commandments. True Science does not classify or departmentalize people. Thus, there is no superior race. All people are created equal. Once you have settled on this, you are ready to do good science.
Here is the inductive process you go through to find the relevant facts.
1. Define the problem or mystery you want to solve.
2. Gather the facts relating to the problem.
3. Set up a number of possible solutions using the facts.
4. Test the solutions to see how well they match the facts.
5. Remove the solutions that do not fit the facts.
6. Loop through the above steps until you get a perfect match with all of the facts.
7. Let someone else test your results.
As you can see there is room for error throughout this whole process. This is a problem- or mystery-solving based system. If there is no mystery, then there would be no reason to start the process. The greater the problem or mystery you are trying to solve, the more time and energy you use. Without a proper motivation you can make the facts say what you want them to say. This is the reason the above 12 assumptions are so important in doing good science. In this way the Holy Bible compliments good science. The Holy Bible acts as a "safety net" for our science projects..
