Answering Questions on Science and Faith

 

Did God really create the universe in six days? Is it possible that humans evolved from apes? Is Noah's Ark a myth?

One of the biggest scientific conflicts faced by Christians is about the origins of humans and the universe. This is because in the Bible, we learn that God created the universe and all living things in six days. However, science teaches that the universe existed by chance, and that all living things evolved from microorganisms over billions of years.

You do not need a science degree to equip yourself to answer such questions. Thanks to Christian scientists and apologists who wrote books about their research findings, you can easily learn how science supports biblical truths.

Knowing how to answer science questions will help you:

• Improve your confidence in the trustworthiness of the Bible
• Respond effectively to people who claim that the Bible opposes science
• Be inspired to use God's creation as a witnessing tool

Here are some books that cover common topics on science versus faith such as creation, evolution, Noah's Flood and dinosaurs:
