Science and the Bible

Authority of ScripturesSteve Gregg
In "Science and the Bible," Steve Gregg argues that while many people believe there is a conflict between the Bible and science, this is not necessarily true. Scientific knowledge is constantly evolving and changing, and the historical accuracy of the Bible can be supported through careful examination. In fact, the Bible may have accurately anticipated scientific findings and discoveries centuries in advance, and its teachings and laws reflect important principles of hygiene and public health. While not conclusive proof, Gregg asserts that these instances suggest a possible relationship between science and the Bible.
