Bible and Science

Dear Editor,In the February issue of the Midnight Call, you ask, “Are creation and science compatible?” And then go to some length to prove the Bible by science. Conversely, if you let the Bible prove science, it is much simpler. We know that the earth was in flood at the time of creation. Genesis 1:9, “And God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.”Then after Noah’s flood, Genesis 9:11, “And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.”God does not tell us how many times before He had destroyed the earth by flood. But in 2 Peter 3:5-7, we read: “That by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”So creation and science are perfectly compatible, and we can take the Bible literally.Evolution, in spite of being so widely accepted, is an unproven and unprovable theory. -V.
