God and Science

James Rochford

There is a common misconception today that science and the Bible are incompatible. However, as we look closely at the scientific data, we see that the fine-tuning of the universe and foundational principles of science, such as the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and Big Bang Cosmology, actually provide substantial evidence for the existence of a creator God.

Science and the Bible: Creation and Science

Jim Leffel
Genesis 1:1-27

The biblical account of the creation of the world and man meshes with the latest scientific discovery about the universe. Its account is both plausible and consistent with the data, and calls on us to consider its claims about God, mankind, and the universe.

Science and the Bible

Mike Sullivan
Genesis 1:1-2:2

Many people today believe that science and the Bible are incompatible. Upon closer inspection, however, we find that this a false dichotomy and that science and the Bible are remarkably compatible, and a thorough and harmonized understanding of both gives us a more complete picture of God, His creation, and our place in it.

Does Science Contradict Christianity?

Kate Mizelle
Jeremiah 33:25

Many critics of Christianity align science and Christianity against each other in the fighting ring. But is this a proper debate? This workshop addresses two major questions. First, can we believe in both science and God? And two, where does the evidence lead? As we explore the evidence in our physical world, we see that belief in science and God are not two mutually exclusive areas. In fact, science helps defend the Christian faith, and the Christian faith helps propel science.

In the Beginning

J. Warner Wallace
Jeremiah 33:25

If we were to approach evidence for the existence of God as we would evidence for a suspect in a crime scene, what would we find? J. Warner Wallace walks through the process for collecting evidence inside of a crime scene and what explanatory possibilities we would deny or conclude as a result. Using this same process, we approach several different evidences seen in our own universe, including cosmological, biological, mental, and moral evidence. And in the same manner, we begin crossing off explanatory possibilities until we are left with the logical conclusion of a creator God.

God's Design for Sex

James Rochford
Genesis 2:18

Through the account of the creation of Adam and Eve, God gives us insight into His design for sex and marriage. God is pretty clear about His view on these two topics; however, a lot the world's commonly held views are in direct opposition to what God says. The Bible says the world's view is broken. Take a look at what God has to say, and several statistics from leading studies in this area.

An Invitation to Covet

Dave Schutter
Psalms 19:1-14

Typically when we hear the word covet, we think of the envy of others and their possessions that God calls us to avoid. But Psalm 19 introduces a new way to think about coveting; it presents an invitation to covet God's Word, to cultivate a deep desire for it. From this psalm, we see that creation declares God's glory, crediting the glory to God and not itself. We also see that God speaks to us personally in His Word. His written word is truth and truth is simultaneously good because it has been spoken by God. God not only knows us personally, but He knows us in a redemptive sense, another truth presented in this psalm.

The Living Word and the Creation of the Universe

John Lennox
Genesis 1

Creation was not an unguided phenomenon. In the account of creation in Genesis 1, we repeatedly see the words, "And God said." This tells us that God is distinct from the universe and existed before it and that He was the author of creation. This is echoed throughout Scripture, and there is much science to back up the Biblical view of creation as well.

In the Image of God

Scott Risley
Genesis 1:26-2:17

Even though the world is fallen, God says humans have still been made in His image. As such, humans are designed: 1) with a spiritual nature; 2) to enjoy work and creative accomplishment; 3) with the power of free will choice; 4) to enjoy rest. Interwoven throughout are many quotes from "Finding Truth" by Nancy Pearcey.
