Does supernatural creation do away with the need for science?

The Winsome Creationist

In this episode, we examine the question of whether believing in supernatural creation does away with the need for science. Some argue that if God created the world miraculously, then scientific study is pointless. However, we argue that believing in creation actually provides the inspiration and foundation for scientific discovery.

We discuss the possibility that God may have altered the laws of physics during historical events like the flood. While recognizing this is significant, we assert that God has full sovereignty over his creation. However, this does not invalidate scientific inquiry - it makes it more exciting as we seek to discover God's work.

The Bible gives us an accurate historical account but not all the details of "how" creation happened. Science can help fill in those details. While we may get some details wrong, we stand assured in the truth of Scripture's "what" happened. As Christians exploring and caring for God's world, we get to search out the world God created, honoring him through our study.

In the end, believing God created the world means we must believe he can change it - as long as he does not violate his own nature or break his promises. Having faith in Christ includes having faith that he performed the impossible act of creation. Let's go explore the world our Creator made.
