Faith & Science: It’s one or the other

Many people believe they must choose between faith and science, but this creates a false dichotomy. Throughout history, faith has actually driven scientific discovery, with universities founded by Christians who believed studying creation would reveal truths about the Creator. Great scientists like Kepler, Newton, and modern researchers like Francis Collins found their faith strengthened through scientific study. The Bible encourages examining the natural world, as both Psalm 19 and Romans 1 teach that creation reveals God's glory. Modern research continues to validate biblical wisdom about human nature, relationships, and moral behavior. Rather than compartmentalizing faith and reason, we can see God's design and purpose throughout our daily work and studies.
