Does Science Contradict the Bible? Part 2 of 3

glovergj Gordon Glover
What kind of "Science" does the Bible teach? Many people say that the Bible is not a science textbook, which is true. Clearly, the focus of Scripture is the story of Creation, the Fall, and Redemption through Christ. But this amazing story could have played itself out on any cosmological stage. So upon which scientific model of the universe does this drama of redemption unfold? The ancient Near-Eastern flat-earth cosmology? The Greek Ptolemaic model? Galileo's heliocentric universe? Modern big bang theory? Which is it? Well, if we are willing to set aside our modern 21st century understanding of the heavens and the earth and see the Bible as the original audience would have understood it, the answer to this question becomes clear. In fact, every time one of the biblical authors makes a reference to the physical universe, it provides us a window into what constitutes a truly "biblical" cosmology. That is the easy part. The hard part is trying to figure out what to do with the biblical model of the cosmos. But the way we answer this question will determine how we treat all of the natural sciences, so the question is of utmost importance!
