Are Christianity and Science Compatible?

The truth is science and Christianity are complementary. Today a wide range of scholars recognize that Christianity provided both intellectual presuppositions and moral sanction for the development of modern science.

It’s very clear that science “works”. We can explain and predict how nature will behave over an extraordinary range of scales. It is how we project the weather. There are various limits to scientific understanding but, within these limits, science makes a complete and compelling picture.

It is the Christian world which finally gave birth in a clear, articulate fashion to the experimental method of science itself. We are all the stuff of the universe, absolutely embedded within, and subject to, the rules which govern nature. Because we’re self-aware, one can argue that the universe is self-aware.

Without an intelligible design it would be impossible for humans to have free will as all actions would be as a consequence of the will of the director. Free will is a fundamental element of Christian doctrine.

Much of science supports the existence and work of God. Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”
 
Of course Christianity and science are compatible (and complementary). Some of the greatest scientists in human history (including several Nobel Laureates) were Christians, and Christians doing science because their Christianity prompted them to do so.

It all depends on who is wearing 'depends'.

The Creator did what?
Did HE not use HIS Knowledge of KNOWING to Speak that which was not as though it were?

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations” ) in the presence of Him whom he believed—
God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

The science of NASA is from satan and is part of the End-Time Deception that now covers the earth.

Thats the way I see it.
 
How many CGI variations of a globe earth have you seen over the years?

The internet has been scrubbed of scientific facts = WHY

 
My neighbor is a nuclear physicist, and he told me about this:

Lightning Helps Fertilize The Soil​


Our bodies need protein, and proteins contain nitrogen. The air we breathe has plenty of nitrogen to satisfy our needs. But-that nitrogen is not available to us directly from the air. The only way we can get nitrogen is from the plants we eat, or from the animals we eat that eat the plants.

Here's The Problem...​


A nitrogen molecule in the air consists of two atoms which are held together very tightly. In order for us to absorb nitrogen, the two atoms must be separated. But the two atoms are held together so tightly that our body chemistry does not have enough energy to process them.

This is where lightning comes in. Obviously we don't have to be struck by lighting in order to satisfy our need for nitrogen!

However, in a thunderstorm there is enough electrical energy in lightning to separate the nitrogen atoms in the air. Once the atoms are separated they can fall to earth with rain water, and combine with minerals in the soil to form nitrates, a type of fertilizer.

The nitrogen-containing nitrates in the soil are absorbed by the plants, and when we eat the plants or the animals which eat the plants, we get the nitrogen in a form which our bodies can use.

So, in addition to providing a spectacular light show, and scaring us to death, lightning also helps fertilize the soil.

The Greatest Scientist who ever walked this earth says:

Zechariah 12:1
The burden of the word of the Lord against Israel.
Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:

Psalm 102:25
In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

Hebrews 1:10
He also says, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

Job 38:4
“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.

Satan KNOWS this to be TRUE = Jeremiah 31:37
Thus says the LORD: “If heaven above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel For all that they have done, says the LORD.


Strange Anomaly - on your globe earth = Israel is still here when they should not exist.



It is His Science - the Stars remain in their designated course as governed by the WORD
The earth and the stars are not spinning chaotically or randomly in 'outer-space!


Job 9:9 – God Created the Constellations

He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

Deuteronomy 4:19 – Stars as Part of the Heavenly Host
And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high
And see who has created these stars,
The One who leads forth their host by number,
He calls them all by name;
Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power,
Not one of them is missing.

Isaiah 45:12
“It is I who made the earth, and created man upon it.
I stretched out the heavens with My hands
And I ordained all their host.

Psalm 102
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:
To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His mercy endures forever;
To Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
For His mercy endures forever;
To Him who laid out the earth above the waters,
For His mercy endures forever;
To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever—
The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His mercy endures forever.


There are two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness = make sure you are in the LIGHT

Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

 
The first verse of the Bible is packed with meaning: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” Genesis 1:1

Space and planets were created for God’s glory. We know that stars and planets outside our solar system exist, and these, too, were created for the glory of God. A constantly expanding universe is yet another conjecture that has yet to be proven. The next star farther than the sun is over 4 light-years away, and that isn’t even a measurable fraction of the size of the known universe, expanding or not.

Where in scripture does it say God created 'planets' as i do not know of any right now.

God does specify His creation of the sun, the moon and the stars as well as the firmament that covers the earth.

n 1992, astronomers discovered the first planet outside the solar system. Since then, telescopes have spotted thousands of these so-called exoplanets orbiting not only stars similar to the sun but also in binary star systems; small, cool stars called red dwarfs; and even ultradense neutron stars. It's enough to make you wonder: Does every star out there have at least one planet orbiting it?

 
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 reveal knowledge. Psalm 19:1–2

The universe isn’t the only aspect of the cosmos that has to be finely tuned to permit life. Let’s bring our analysis a little closer to home. By “closer,” we mean our own solar system.

Most of us live fairly comfortably in our solar system, but that wouldn’t be the case in any other known solar system. All solar systems are not created equal when it comes to supporting life. Our sun is not just a plain ol’ star among the billions of others in the Milky Way Galaxy. Our sun has a planetary system (the “solar system”), which is made up of the earth and seven other planets—along with the various planetary moons, asteroid belts, and the recently demoted Pluto. Our solar system has certain features that allow life, but these features are not common to all other solar systems. Here are the unique features of our solar system for which you can thank God:

• A solar system that has one, and only one, star. With more than one star, tidal interactions would throw the Planet Earth’s orbit out of whack. If we had no star, then the planet would be a frozen mass that could not support life.

• A solar system with a star of the right age. Newly formed stars have burning rates and temperatures that fluctuate. But if your star is too old, then the luminosity rate changes too quickly to allow life.

• A star in your solar system that is the correct size. If a solar system’s star is too large, then you have those pesky luminosity fluctuations that keep its planets from supporting life. Too small, and you’ve got a host of other problems, such as tidal forces that knock the planet’s rotational period out of sync and not enough ultraviolet radiation for plants. Ninety-nine percent of all stars are the wrong size for what you’re looking for in a life-supporting solar system.

• A star that is the correct distance from the planet. If a planet is too far away from its star, then the temperature on the planet’s surface would be too cool to permit a stable water evaporation cycle. Too close, and the climate is too warm to allow a stable water evaporation cycle. If the distance between the earth to the sun differed by just 2 percent, then no life would be possible. This parameter eliminates 99 percent of all stars as candidates for a solar system that humans could call home.

Now, let’s get really up close and personal and see the permissible parameters for life on our own planet. All of the following factors affect the viability of life on this planet. A change in the parameters of any one of them would either prevent the existence of life—or make it extremely unpleasant:

• The orbital pattern around the sun: a change could produce extreme variations that would make life impossible.
• The tilt of the earth’s axis: the differential in the surface temperature would be too extreme.
• The speed of the earth’s rotation: temperature changes and wind velocities would be too great.
• The age of the earth: if the earth were much younger, then it would rotate too fast. If it were much older, it would rotate too slowly.
• The ratio of oxygen to nitrogen in the earth’s atmosphere: life functions would be severely impacted by any change in this ratio.

Is it pure dumb luck that we humans landed on Planet Earth, or could life be the same (or better) if we had landed somewhere else? Don’t pack your bags yet, because you may not have many options. Unlike our own solar system, most stars have only one planet in their respective systems. It has been estimated that there might be a trillion galaxies, with possibly one hundred billion stars per galaxy. With one planet per star, that gives us the prospect of one hundred billion trillion planets. According to Dr. Hugh Ross, the odds of getting all the necessary factors for the existence of life on a single planet are one trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of 1 percent. But you’ve only got one hundred billion trillion available planets. The odds against finding another suitable planet are astronomical.

This ought to tell you two things: First, you don’t have any realistic options for living on any other planet. Second, you should revel in the knowledge that God was so precise and intentional in placing you on a planet that was tailor-made for human existence.

There are two kingdoms, the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness = make sure you are in the LIGHT

Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old.
I have been established from everlasting,
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;
While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,
Or the primal dust of the world.
When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,

The earth is NOT a flat disc and neither is it satans NASA globe spinning thru space.

Open your heart/mind/soul to love God with including "every word that proceeds from the Mouth of God"

Satan KNOWS this to be TRUE = Jeremiah 31:37
