Blog Highlights Pray for AiG Q: Is the Bible a science textbook? A: The Bible is not a science textbook, and there is a vast amount of scientific knowledge to be gained about ourselves, our world, and our universe. In fact, the scientific method is effective because God created an orderly universe that functions in accord with the scientific laws He put in place. Science works because God created! A biblical understanding of Creation can even help scientists make predictions and avoid erroneous thinking, such as the mistaken notion that some organs are useless vestigial remnants of our supposed evolutionary past. The history in the Bible—information concerning the Creation, the global Flood, and the age of the earth, for instance—is a reliable yardstick by which to evaluate many scientific theories and eliminate those that clearly violate God's account of our past. Worldview affects how scientists interpret what they observe. Read the entire article to see a current example of how a person's worldview can affect scientific exploration.
