Status Updates From Christianity and Science

"How could it ever be defensible to suppose that a man, because of and in proportion to his fear of God, is incapable of the pursuit of science?"

"The ideal for the [scientist] cannot be that in his work, his heart's deepest and noblest convictions are kept silent. Rather, it is much more that he is a man of God who is perfectly equipped for every good work."

Christian science provides a ground for the objectivity of sense perception and for the reality of the truth. It includes the claims of special revelation and reestablishes a place for theology as central in the organism of science, alongside and in service of the other disciplines.

"To Bavinck's Dutch ear, the question of whether a scientist or a theologian speaks with greater authority would make little sense: to him theology IS a science, belongs in the university of sciences, and is practiced by scientists."
