Science - God’s Works ‘The works of the Lord are great; sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.’ Psalm 111:2

Johannes Kepler ‘Thinking God’s thoughts after him.’ ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.’ Psalm 19:1-2

The Unity of Truth Progress in science is progress in our knowledge of God. Example – evolution and theodicy. [Scientific knowledge is provisional] General Revelation

Scripture – God’s Word Knowledge of God progresses as our understanding of Scripture increases. Example: The Dead Sea Scrolls. Scripture as progressive revelation. Examples: Ideas of life after death; attitudes to enemies; inclusion of Gentiles. Special Revelation

Progress? Should we progress beyond biblical statements about homosexuality? Progress = rethinking biblical teachings. OR Rethinking biblical teachings = cultural conformity.
