“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding” (Proverbs 9:10).
There is widespread propaganda being circulated today, emanating from the highest circles of establishment science and education, to the effect that Biblical Christian faith is either antagonistic to science or irrelevant to it. Therefore, these spokesmen argue that science must be taught on a purely naturalistic basis, with no reference whatever to God, or creation, or to the supernatural.
The Christian is thus forced to make a choice—the scientific establishment, or God. God’s word makes it plain that “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7) and “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). The New Testament, likewise, notes that in Christ “are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3). Since Jesus Christ is the incarnate word of God, “and without Him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:3), it is necessarily true that true science must be built on the knowledge of Him who created the world that scientists seek to study.
This is why science itself could only have developed—as indeed the leading historians of science recognize it did—in the context of the Christian worldview. Practically all the founding fathers of modern science (Kepler, Newton, Boyle, Ray, Linnaeus, etc.) were men who believed in God, special creation, and the Bible. They “did their science” with the motivation that they were merely “thinking God’s thoughts after Him.”
When scientists try to eliminate God from His creation, using evolutionism as their explanation for the origin and history of the world, they are not building up science, but “science falsely so called” (I Timothy 6:20). True science always supports the Scriptures. HMM
