Science or the Book

Romans 1:20

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse."

I believe that everyone has heard the term Atheist; someone who does not believe that there is a God. There are many reasons to believe that there is no God and it is very easy to stray away from the many teachings that come from the book and church itself. One of these reasons may be the "scientific" theories of the Big Bang and Evolution. Somewhere in the Bible it plainly says not to mix up and compare the findings of science with the actual word. I can understand why someone who has learned of Evolution and the creation of the world through a scientific perspective would believe that there is no God. In science there is no Godhead who creates everything living and non-living that surrounds us. The title of God, in this case, would be completely unnecessary and foolish.

The verse that I randomly chose clearly states that human kind has no excuses what-so-ever to not believe in God. It states that there must be an understanding of how the earth was made. Whether this understanding be through science or the book of Genesis, it is understood and believed by someone through faith. You must have faith to believe in something or someone who is not there. To have faith in science and the book is different than having the knowledge of both. Having the knowledge can help you decide what path you are going to take and what "theories" you are going to believe in.

To each his own.
