DOUBTING GOD: God and Science

Faith and science need not be in conflict. While some argue that scientific explanations make God obsolete, this assumes that explaining how something works eliminates the need for a Creator. Instead, science can reveal God's attributes—His attention to detail, faithfulness, and desire to be known. Four models exist for integrating faith and science: conflict, independence, dialogue, and integration. Rather than placing God only in the gaps of our knowledge, we can recognize that God works through creation, not just around it. Scientific explanations don't eliminate God; they reveal how God accomplishes His purposes.
