There seems to be a growing disparity between faith and science. Given the potential in both, it's hard to understand why this should be. More than one way to comprehend truth exists within everyone.
A search for knowledge can be approached from a radical paradigm. Man could accomplish a lot more, a lot quicker, if science and faith worked together. There is much potentially beneficial scientific knowledge inside the Bible. An overwhelming certainty of God's sovereignty and power arises from new scientific discoveries, especially when they validate previously doubted Scripture.
This writing demonstrates a means of using the Bible as a resource for science. It begins by asking what could be learned, what new direction for research could be found, if the Scriptures were taken at face value. Instead of viewing these writings through filters of doubt, what if every word was assumed to be absolutely true? What valuable knowledge could then be gleaned, not only eternally, but right here and right now?
With this in mind, the author researched four very real scientific questions, mining the Bible for usable data.
“I highly recommend my friend Paul Spite’s project to learn all he can from Bible references to scientific questions. Doing this is likely to give new insights that secular scientists have overlooked because of their willful ignorance of biblical truth. Some of the areas for research that Spite suggests perhaps have spiritual applications only, but many others may be very fruitful for scientific understanding.”
