Why do we as Christians feel that our fight is against science? Sure, they believe in old earth, we believe in young earth. That much is true, but that does not justify our hatred for scientific endeavors. If anything, science should be celebrated in the Christian world.
How many of you remember the periodic table of elements? Like me, you probably remember that it existed, but not much more than that. What I can remember is that each element had its own functions. When it comes down to it (as in the nitty-gritty functions of atoms), we know that God gave them their own functions. It is truly amazing.
Think of Noah's rainbow. When God said the rainbow was a promise, do you think that it came down from Heaven and angels were holding it up? Of course not. God had never sent rain before, but since the creation of the world he gave the properties to rain molecules and light molecules to create a rainbow. It's truly astounding.
When Jesus walked through the wall, he had a body. That means he supernaturally shifted the atoms in his body to miss all the atoms in wall.
Though I find botany truly boring, it definitely shows the true attention to detail our Father in Heaven meticulously holds to. From the parts of a cell to photosynthesis, God created it all. He planned it all from the beginning.
Finally, the human body is truly a work of a creative, scientific God. Every detail is met. We know this because if someone's body is not quite up to snuff, we call him handicapped.
Let us not fool ourselves with "Well the scientists say... so we know the truth must be opposite." Enjoy science. God created a world to observe.
And the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
