Christianity and science are giving answers to different question. Science asks questions like: What is this substance? When did that thing take place? How did that thing happen?
The beginning of the Bible on the other hand, is much more concerned with the questions: Who made this? Why did they make it? Why are we here? So we shouldn't expect the bible to offer us answers to what, when and how questions; but we shouldn't look to science to tell us who made everything, or why we are here. |
Beliefs |
Everyone has beliefs which they can't back up with scientific evidence - even scientists! So some scientists believe that there is no God (without being able to test scientifically that belief). And some scientists believe that there is a God (and they can't test that scientifically either).
And what people believe affects how they look at the world. One scientist might believe the start of the universe (however and whenever that happened) was caused by God; another might believe it began randomly, because there is no God. But both views about God are a matter of belief, not scientific evidence. So science can't prove Christianity is wrong, nor can it prove it it's right. It can't prove or disprove the existence of a god who works through science (like the God of the bible). The Big question becomes: Does this God of the Bible, who controls his world and usually uses what we call scientific processes to do so, actually exist? |
Christ |
Again, it comes back to Jesus. He once said to a storm on a sea "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm" (Mark 4v39).
Here's this God who controls everything, including scientific processes. He is in charge of science (he invented it!). The more we discover about how this world works, the more we see how ingenious its designer is. |
"So science doesn't have the last word about everything. What's the point of Life?"

"So God's in charge of the world. Why does God allow Suffering"
