Faith and Science: Joined by God, Separated by Man
Hillegas, Allen E.
Synopsis "Faith and Science: Joined by God, Separated by Man"
This book makes the bold assertion that the vast and diverse subject of faith and the complex fields of scientific study are not only compatible with each other, but are in fact inseparable from each other. There is a certain amount of faith in a pre-determined conclusion when a scientist develops a theory to explain an event or process. Then the evidence is examined and the scientist can prove or disprove his theories. Summarily, each person has a particular set of beliefs that is supported by life experiences or other facts that make their faith seem reasonable. Some facts will test a person's faith and sometimes changes their beliefs. Other facts will support their faith and give the person assurance. Science seeks to answer many questions by exploring the universe. This book summarizes various subjects in a variety of scientific fields including Astronomy, Biology, Genetics, General Physics, Modern Physics, Mathematics, Particle Physics and Quantum Physics. The overall premise is that all means of exploring 'the truth' leads to the accuracy and reliability of the Bible. There are over 400 Biblical references to a portion of scripture showing a strong correlation between various fields of science and the Christian faith. I believe no other Christian book has as many Biblical references or has as much detail covering the most complex subjects of science in a precise, easy-to-read form. Every Christian should study science to some degree because it gives us reasons to praise God for His acts of creation. This book includes a number of mathematical formulas which represent scientific concepts and are explained in an easy-to-follow manner. Approximately 40 illustrations are included to aid in the understanding of these concepts of science.
