“We’re finding infinitely complex, self-similar shapes all over creation. And we’re just getting started.”
Apologetics & Your Kids: Part 8 - Another Slogan
(Read the series so far.)
In the last installment of this series we were looking at a motto which is often misused by the Christian community, and which could mislead young people if not carefully explained. That motto was “All truth is God’s truth.” This time round I want to take a look at another slogan; a slogan which should not be adopted by Bible believers, even though some prominent and respected authorities use it.
The phrase I have in mind is this: “The Bible tells us how to go to heaven; science tells us how the heavens go.”
On the face of it, this legend might seem non-objectionable. We are all aware of the fact that the Bible is not, nor does it ever claim to be, a textbook on Science. It doesn’t inform us about botany or biology or chemistry or physics. Science does—so what’s the problem?
