Yesterday, we learned that it’s not science vs. religion. It’s one view of the past, based on man’s word, vs. another view of the past, based on God’s Word. And that’s because there are two different kinds of science.
Observational science deals with the present. It’s directly testable, observable, and repeatable. It builds technology and cures diseases.
