Dr. Sally Jessie Springer "To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak conceit of sobriety, or an ill-applied moderation, think or maintain, that a man can search too far or be too well-studied in the book of God's word, or in the book of God's works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavor an endless progress or proficiency in both." From: Francis Bacon’s Advancement of Learning, quoted as the epigraph of Origins of the Species (3rd printing )- Darwin

This is NOT Tim vs. Doug nor even Science vs. Christianity it IS Faith Seeking Understanding

God is the author of the Bible. Prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21

God is the author of Creation. You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being. Revelation 4:11

God reveals himself through the Bible. And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. Luke 24:27

God reveals himself through Creation. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Psalm 19:1 & 3

Perfect Harmony!

1. Relax, there’s nothing to be afraid of! 2. Begin speaking to unbelievers with total confidence. 3. Let’s be both more humble and more determined in our striving to understand both the Scriptures and the Creation.

NEXT TIME So how did we get where we are today?
