Debate Between Faith and Science :: Philosophy, God

Faith and ScienceIn todays realism there is an ongoing debate surrounded by faith and acquaintance. The extraordinary advances of science shit sometimes led to the belief that it is capable of answering by itself all of mans questions and resolving all his problems. Some have concluded that by now there is no longer any need for deity. It has been said that one must choose between faith and science either one embraces one or believes in the other. People seem to have faith belief in God as creator of career and some have scientific beliefs in the spontaneous generation of life from inanimate matter (Wright 111). Between faith and science there will always be conflict. A scientist who is committed to scientific research no longer has a need for God and vice versa is prominent.A scientist by the name of Dr. Collins made a breakthrough in science by creating the human genome which consists of the entire DNA in our species, the heredity code of life (National). Such a breakthrough for a scientist that is a strong believer in God would call for an occasion of worship. He made it known that the belief in God is completely a rational choice and faith is paired with the fundamentals of science (National). But the real question is should faith and science be confused? Many scientists believe it should be separated simply because they dont believe in God and they have theories that prove just that. Jennifer Sexton and Laura Finley, from an Ebsco legion article made an excellent point and stated, Religious believers argue that the presumption of Gods existence is based on reason, and that the proof of Gods existence is in the unanswered questions slightly the universe, which remain unaddressed by science (Sexton). As Christians our world views should strongly relate to our faith. Our task is to shape a worldview according to the teachings of scripture, and continually test the world views against the scriptures. This biblical worldview will then serve as a guide t hrough life, and this includes responses to origins, stewardship, justice, medical, and genetic concerns (Wright 12). Hebrews chapter eleven verse three states, By faith we realise that the universe was formed at Gods command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. From this verse it is essential as a biology study to stand by my faith. Everything in biology ranging from meiosis, genetics, to anatomy includes Gods Governance of the cosmos, even chance and random processes (Wright 26).
