Science, the Universe, and the Bible

Have you felt the tension between “science” and the Bible? Perhaps one of your friends or a teacher at school has tried to convince you to look at all the evidence “science” has produced. Evidence that proves the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. Evidence that contradicts the biblical timeline of thousands of years. When they say “science,” they really mean the findings of the secular science community, which often are driven more by assumptions than by the methods of science.

You may ask your friend about this evidence and be told about Newton’s laws of motion, which can be proved by experiments repeatedly. But if you ask them about evidence for billions of years, they point to models such as evolution and the Big Bang. These models are not based on experiments, but on forensic evidence and the assumptions scientists use to fill the gaps in their knowledge.

Join me on a journey of discovery. We will examine the evidence and the underlying assumptions. You will be equipped to think for yourself and provide answers to these questions. One of the most challenging questions concerns the speed of light and how we can see objects that are millions/billions of light-years away.
