As previously stated, evidence does interact with faith. When you have evidence that a friend is a person that does morally good things, such as giving to charity, you have faith that friend would never steal from another person. How, then, is the overlooking of hard cold evidence, such as a cheating boyfriend, considered faith and not blind hope? Faith, according to Merriam-Webster, is to believe, defined as “the feeling of being sure that something is true”, and trust, “assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something”. Faith does not seem to be the word you would use when describing putting all of your eggs in one basket for something you already know to be false.
The Ten Commandments are the
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods, nor make unto thee any graven image. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain; thou shalt not have no other gods before me. Thou shalt remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy.
When working in the science fields there are many obstacles a person of faith may face. The biggest of these is the controversy over the concept of evolution and how the world came into being. Atheists and evolutionists are always trying to find ways to disprove God with science. However, after spending several years learning about how nature and chemicals work together to form our world it is hard for me to imagine that all of it came into existence without a creator.
The relationship between faith and science is also something I think about when looking at my worldview. I believe that faith is most important, but in order for there to be faith in creation, the scientific aspect of how things were created by God can prove that faith. As for science, I use faith as the basis of scientific knowledge. Therefore, faith must support any scientific findings and vice versa. Faith and science work together, indirectly, supporting the ideas of the world so that we may even have faith to begin
Secondly, each creationist’s view faith and science as a peaceful co-existence in order to not cause any disturbance amongst the God of creation. Lastly, amongst young and old earth creationists, the One true God is responsible for creating human reason with an ordered, natural
Faith is the substance of all things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen, and reason is the explanation for these events. What many people did not understand is how these two could possibly be so compatible, but Eagleton solves that by showing how similar the two are. Scientists give us a reason to believe the truth about something, but they also give us faith as well. Having a reason to commit to a belief means that you have faith in everything that comes along with it. Karen Armstrong was correct when she said that they are not like political parties, if you don’t believe in one, you are not automatically going to believe in the other.
Darwin, once trained as a minister, never outright criticized the church in his works, but instead offered another alternative. Dawkins, however, goes out of his way to use his theory to prove the impossibility of any religion. He especially goes after the Jewish and Christian theologies in his book, All Africa and her Progenies. “Of all origin myths, the Jewish story of the Garden of Eden is so pervasive in our culture that it has bequeathed its name to and important scientific theory about our ancestry, the theory of African Eve” (Dawkins). He very much writes to disprove this theology more than to prove his own work.
EXODUS 31:16-17 “”The Israelites must observe the Sabbath, celebrating it throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. It is a sign forever between Me and the Israelites, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.””. Because God rested, so must I in favor of respecting His actions. The Sabbath is a covenant with God. By accepting this covenant with God, I am sustaining my harmony with God.
This might be a bummer for many and I am repeating it for the sake of clarification: Charles Darwin did NOT “discover” evolution, he was NOT an atheist but a spiritual person and he NEVER said humans evolved from monkeys or apes. Charles Darwin was a geologist and a biologist and that is it, having no hidden agenda or spiteful intentions against any ideology per se. While on his voyage to Galapagos (not Keletropist ) Island, he noticed the transition and similarities between different species of birds and concluded that living organisms today might have had a common ancestor long back. After collecting surmounting evidence in the favour of this idea, he proposed this notion in his book “Origin of Species” that later became a foundation for the “theory of evolution”. (More on the “theory” part
Darwinism is the belief of evolution, while Creationism is the belief of creation through divine influence. The Creationists would find renewed strength in several European and American religious revivals, while the evolutionists would place their foundation
An essential part of Christianity is prayer and worship. Christians have made Sunday, the day
Many in the happen-stance side try to disprove Creationism by flaunting their scientific discoveries, but mistakenly think God needs to be vindicated. Many renowned scientist such as Albert Einstein whom said, “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind”, Max Planck an incredible physicist most known for his “Quantum theory” believe that ultimately there was a God because of the proof of his works in fields such as genetics, neuroscience, physics, etc. Dr. Francis Collins one of America’s leading geneticist is also a Christian and despite his scientific background he acknowledges God and his Work, he simply puts it as.
I believe faith is stepping out on nothing to believe God for something. Now that I have a clear understanding of how to use faith I will allow God to use me to bless and strengthen others through testimony and
