“The God who inspired the Bible is the same God who made the universe, Earth, and all life. This God is the very definition of truth; therefore nature's record will never contradict Scripture and vice versa. When a seeming contradiction confronts us, we can know with certainty we have either misunderstood (one, the other, or both revelations) or perhaps we haven't yet dug deploy enough. Whatever the case, we can embrace the opportunity to gain greater knowledge and appreciation for the Bible, for nature, and for the God who is responsible for both.” KnowsMadeEnoughEarthUniverseOpportunityCasesRecordsGreaterHavensGainsResponsibleEmbraceInspiredDefinitionsVicesAppreciationScriptureCertaintyRevelationsContradictionMisunderstoodVice VersaSeeming Author:Hugh Ross
