Science vs. Scripture

On this content it caught my attention with the period saw advances in science which sometimes brought conflict with church thinking. Galileo an astronomer and physicist argued that the planets revolve around the sun - a theory which brought him into conflict with the Inquisition, after which time he lived under house arrest until his death.

Isaac Newton the great English scientist is best remembered for his law of gravity. He believed that his scientific discoveries were communicated to him by the Holy Spirit and regarded the understanding of scripture as more important than his scientific work. He encouraged the belief that human enquiries into nature, unaided by Scripture could demonstrate the wisdom and power of the Creator.

It is indeed beyond human understanding to understand the happenings of our world. The world people itself could not distinguished his existence, but God made him known by made Himself known to the world. We cannot even define God through science. Science is by observation and due to observation in the laboratory. We can observe the activity of God, but we could not observe God in the laboratory. Therefore, the science itself is not beyond God, through the Scripture we can define God, because the scripture is the revelation of God.
