Faith And Science Quotes

“Mis-information is rampant in this great age of mass-information. While we have more access to learning than ever before in the history of the world, we’re actually getting dumber it seems. The amount of (mis)information at everyone's fingertips has lured us into a false sense of knowing. Whether it be information about science, politics, or theology, our society is suffering from an inability to research, process, filter, and apply. At the same time we seem entirely oblivious to the zeitgeist (spirit of the age) that is nihilistic and libertine, making everything relative and subjective. And Satan himself rushes to blur our vision, stirring up the dust of confusion. The church must respond by teaching the critical faculties of logic and spiritual discernment, embedded in a cohesive framework of fides quaerens intellectum (faith seeking understanding). We must obtain a reasonable faith that is consistent with historic Christianity and relevant for our post-modern age. Otherwise, those rejecting the blatant errors of religious fundamentalism will be susceptible to every wind of false doctrine and repackaged heresy imaginable. They will leave the orthodox faith and accept something that vaguely resembles Christianity, but in reality is a vile concoction of demonic lies.”

“Science and faith may do different things along their search for Truth, but like the water that flows between low and high tide, we need them both. To judge one without the other is to forsake half the wonders we are meant to experience.”

“When I went about my work as usual and expected to experience nothing else, my day was filled with the mundane... But when I entered the water determined to keep my eyes peeled, to see the underwater world for all its God-created splendor, then my day was filled with beauty.”

“Knowing and loving God functions for a Christian the way that good training functions for a scuba diver. It teaches us. It trains how we see and respond to the world. It is represented in the decisions we make-- even the smallest ones.”

“We can be assured that if God has called us to something, he goes with us. He jumps off the boat beside us... He goes to the depths of his ocean with us.”

“A cold, vast universe feels foreboding until informed by the reality of God's loving character. The dark, bizarre ecology of the deep sea seems terrifying until we recognize who created it. What initially filled one with fear now results in open-mouthed wonder.”

“Just as a well-aimed telescope can clarify that what appears to be empty space is actually filled with heavenly glory, science has the power to uncover bits and pieces of the workmanship of God. Science enlightens the heats of those who love its creator.”

“Through continued exposure, Scripture can become like a favorite dive site. As much as we may come to recognize its words, it unceasingly offers up surprises from its pages-- treasures of discipleship to teach, rebuke, correct, and train us so that we might become equipped for every good work.”

“Humans were designed to be the choir directors of creation's praises to God... And the tremendous biodiversity of creation lends rich harmonies to this choir's praise of our Creator. The greater the ecological diversity, the greater potential to maximize praise.”

“Much like the perspective and creativity of an artist is revealed through their art, the character of God can be revealed through everything he has made.”
