WEEK THREE: SCIENCE
Science and faith are often presented as foes in a turf war, but historically they have been partners. The greatest minds in the scientific revolution saw science as the discovery of God's fingerprints in the world around them. Today, science has gone from glorifying God to replacing Him. What is behind this deification of science in culture?
“It is I who made the earth
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;
I marshaled their starry hosts.”
Isaiah 45:1`2

​
-
Why is science valued so highly?
​
-
