Bible and Science
Thou o LORD, art the Craftsman of Ages
Thy Ark of Noah rose above the raging sea
Thy Ark of Covenant was risen by Thy people
Thy Holy Temple most beautiful of all present
And we o LORD, are Thy greatest creation
For such a long time, it has been said that Christianity and the Bible contradicts the growth and truth of science. Recent studies shows that this is not true. Statistics shown that Christian nations in Europe during the middle age period (the 1800's) had the most growth in technology, science and inventions. The best scientists, whose theories are widely accepted by the world as the truth are Christians, namely Johannes Kepler, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton, Carl Linnaeus, Michael Faraday, Samuel Morse, Charles Babbage, James P. Joule, Louis Pasteur, Gregor Mendel, Blaise Pascal and many others. Their inventions have been of great use to the world, and many of their theories go with the Bible and are widely used by Bible scholars in this days to counter the non-Biblical sciences. For example, the Second Law of Thermodinamics has been used to counter the Big Bang Theory and the Evolution Theory, and that law is widely accepted by scientist and physicians all over the world.
The most practical example we can see is maybe the building of Noah's Ark. Built around 2450 BC with a length of about 140 to 180 metres and capacity of about 35,000 metric tons, this ark became the largest and safest vessel (said of being able to withstand up to 30 metres high tidal waves) for more than 4,000 years. The "Mayflower" that was built on the 1600's was only of 28 metres length and 180 metric tons volume. The first ship that was ever made to almost pass the 100 metres length (it was 98 metres) was Great Britain's "Brunelli" on 1884, using the same proportions as Noah's Ark which was later adopted by most nautical ships' design. While the first ship that was able to surpass Noah's Ark was the famous "Titanic" on 1912 with a length of 251 metres and capacity of 45,265 metric tons. But due to the high pride of men, this ship suffered a tragic fate on his first journey. The "Titanic" was not adequately provided with security measures such as emergency lifeboats and so on, saying that "Even God cannot sink this ship". And in the end, their own words got them back when the "Titanic" ram the mountain of ice. This reminds me of an event that happened centuries before, that is the destruction of the Babel Tower due to the pride of the creators (most likely Nimrod).
Another facts can be found largely in the Bible. David was granted with God great skills in arts such as music, literature, poetry and also war arts while Solomon was granted great knowlege and intelligence that he put in arts, construction, economics, politics, administration, international commerce (the Kingdom of Israel flourished in trade during his reign) and so on. These facts shows that God is the owner of all knowledge and wisdom, and we are given access to those knowledge only by His grace and plans. Should He didn't discover it for us then men would never understand the knowlege and science as it is now. The construction of the Ark of Covenant, the Holy Tent, the Holy Temple, and how God gave rules in the Old Testament/Mosaic Law to keep the people healthy and have a good sanitation system showed how amazing is God in His knowledge.
So I conclude here that all wisdom and knowledge comes from God. If it was not for Him then men would never be able to find it on their own, and what they will find will not be truth, but false science (such as the Geocentric and Evolutionism). If we stay close to the Bible, then we will be able to discern the truths of Biblical Science and the lies and falseness of Worldly Science.
