A lady claims she believes in science but not in God. I can fully understand where she is coming from. The bible says that to those who do not believe scriptures are foolishness. I can see that. It's hard to fathom that some being created everything with just a spoken word, then decided the only way to save mankind from his own folly was to come to earth as a human baby, die on the cross, and rise from the dead.
It takes a great deal of faith to believe that. But it also takes a great deal of faith to believe that where nothing existed, that two forces that didn't exist collided and a perfectly formed and in sync existence was created. One scientific law is that something cannot be created from nothing. If there was once nothing then where did the two forces come from? The fact that something exist is proof that something has always existed.
So many things that science didn't know is recorded in scriptures. Isolation of plaque victims was Jewish law and it wasn't until doctors practiced that was the black plaque ended. In one country 11 out of 14 pregnant women died until the doctors discovered hand washing, which also was a Jewish law.
The bible also said that God sat upon the curve of the earth, the word for curve meaning a ball or sphere. The Egyptians, great mathematicians, believed the earth was supported by 5 pillars but the bible says it was suspended in space. Sailing around the globe was made possible when one sailor realized the bible spoke of pathways in the sea, or currents.
The bible is not a book of science but many scientific discoveries were mentioned in the bible hundreds of years before science discovered them.
It takes less faith to believe in God that in happenstance but one has to accept Christ. Then the bible makes more sense than any other explanation. So what are you going to do about Jesus?
