RELIGION AND SCIENCE

'GOD OF THE GAPS'

THIS IS SAYING THAT WHEN EVERYONE BELIEVED IN GOD THEY EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT COULDN'T BE DESCRIBED BY SAYING THAT IT WAS GOD WHO DID THOSE THINGS, BUT SINCE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD INCREASED THE GAP HAS DECREASED.

SOME OF SCIENCES' CHALLENGES TO RELIGEOUS BELIEF

19 CENTURY GEOLOGICAL STUDIES SHOW THE EARTH IS OLDER THAN 5000 YEARS, WHICH WAS THOUGHT BY BIBLICAL SCHOLARS USING FAMILY LISTS IN THE BIBLE, MEANING THE BIBLE LIED ABOUT WHEN THE EARTH WAS CREATED. 1859 CHARLES DARWIN PUBLISHED 'THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES' WHICH EXPLAINS HOW LIFE EVOLVED.

CHRISTIANS AND SCIENCE TODAY

CREATIONISM: PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THAT EVERYTHING IN THE BIBLE SAYS IS TRUE, EG. ADAM AND EVE.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN: TELEOLOGICAL ARGUMENT

CHRISTIANS WHO ACCEPT EVOLUTION: THERE ARE CHRISTIANS WHO SAY THAT SCIENCE SAYS HOW THINGS ARE MADE AND RELIGION SAYS WHY
