1 The Bible and Science

2 How many people believe in God?
Less than 40% of people in the UK

3 How many people believe in evolution?
70% of people in the UK This chart depicts the public acceptance of evolution theory in 34 countries in National Geographic News

4 Belief in God as the Creator of the Universe and life on Earth has been, and is being, replaced by faith in the ideas of scientists

5 Fundamentally though, The Bible and Science are not in opposition!
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 1Timothy 6:20 Where “Science” is the Greek word “Gnosis” - simply meaning knowledge or understanding

6 It is man’s wrong interpretation of scientific fact that has lead to Creation being abandoned in favour of evolution, as well as disinterest in God’s Word

7 The Bible record is limited to the present “Dispensation”
Moses said to the children of Israel: The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29 Similarly, today we should trust God’s word about the present arrangement of things. We’re not in a position to argue about the probable relics of past dispensations e.g. ancient fossils and dinosaurs, because God hasn’t spoken about them!

8 God the Creator A fundamental principle of Truth found throughout the Bible not confined to Genesis

9 Some examples

10 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them. Proverbs 20:12

11 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; Ecclesiastes 12:1

12 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. Isaiah 45:18

13 And he (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, Matthew 19:4

14 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Acts 4:24

15 The Theory of Evolution is not compatible with the Bible
The Bible speaks of the “First man Adam”: And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 1Corinthians 15:45 If man descended from the apes, there was no first man. When did man become responsible to God for his actions? When did Sin begin? These questions have no answer were evolution the origin of life as we know it today.

16 The idea of advancement by tiny steps over billions of years cannot be reconciled with the Bible testimony of God the Creator

17 Scientists have no satisfactory explanation for:
The origin of the universe The origin of life The evolution of complex organs The vast biodiversity seen in nature Yet the theory of evolution and the idea of a world without a designer are accepted as fact.

18 Natural selection, which scientists observe on a daily basis, should not be confused with evolution.
It is part of the design that keeps all of nature and its ecosystems in balance. Peppered moths in pale and black forms. The mutant black form appeared in the 19th century and survived better in the blackened and Polluted environment and so passed its genes on to new generations.

19 The wonder of life on earth speaks unmistakably of Intelligent Design

20 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? Job 39: 26,27

21 O LORD, how manifold are thy works
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. Psalm 104:24,25

22 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. Job 26:7,8

23 The discoveries of modern science are an opportunity for us to marvel in the work of God’s hands

24 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. Psalm 33:6-8
