"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." -Genesis 1:1 (NASB)
Science and Christianity are often portrayed as two competing ideas. Louis Pasteur, the scientist that gave us pasteurization, once said, "The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God." Albert Einstein said that, "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind." The study of science does not need to lead us away from God, it can lead us to God!
The study of the origins of the universe is one example of science leading us to God. Scientists call it the "Big Bang Theory" and the Bible describes it as God's creation, but both agree that the universe exploded into being. Out of nothingness came everything that we see and study! The study of astronomers and God's word in the Bible really aren't that different!
Don't exclude the ability of science to bring us closer to God. Allow science to be just one of ways that God can reveal His glory to you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all of the ways that You show Yourself to us. Allow me to see You and Your glory through reading Your Word and studying Your works. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
