Science and the Bible
Some may wonder how a person who has spent years studying science can believe what the Bible says. Well, I find no contradiction between science and the Bible. As a physicist, I have studied the laws governing life, and these laws give evidence that they were designed by a superhuman intelligence. For example, there are many theories in physics, chemistry and biology. And although the theories may basically be simple, the mathematics associated with them can nevertheless be very demanding. Brilliant scientists suggest theories and are awarded the Nobel Prize for their work. How much more brilliant must be the intelligent Being who designed and brought into existence the universe, which scientists try so hard to understand!
To suggest, as many evolutionists do, that life developed by chance is stretching credibility too far. To illustrate: Place ten soccer balls in a straight line on a soccer field, each ball three feet from the other. By kicking the first ball, try to make each ball hit the next one in line, so that all ten balls are hit. Furthermore, try to predict the final position of each ball. The probability of success is so remote that most people would likely regard the feat as impossible.
That being the case, how can anyone claim that the development of the human cell—involving processes far more complex than kicking soccer balls— could ever be achieved simply by chance? The most reasonable explanation is that a super-intelligent Being created humans and all other forms of life on earth. Would this Being, who is the Creator, do such a hing without having a purpose? Of course not. He must have had a purpose, and that purpose is revealed and made understandable in the Bible.
