Can I Believe in God and Science?

Do you ever wonder why it seems like the Bible and science conflict with one another? Is it possible to believe in both? We’ll find the answers together in this message.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
It’s easy to think of doubt as a sign of weak faith. But it’s not. God isn’t afraid of our doubts, so we don’t have to be either. In our new series, Doubting God, we’re creating a space for the questions we’ve been afraid to ask. Together, let's discover how doubt can actually build our faith.

WE’RE OPEN

What’s something you learned in school that you still use today?

[melanieiacurci]

I always felt that science is just explaining God's process in a way man can understand.

[ltune]

I’ve always said God is the greatest scientist ever

[kfactor]

Something that I've realized some time ago and that I always bring up whenever I'm talking about God and science is that, God, in the beginning, said, "let there be light", and funny enough, don't scientists always describe the Big Bang as an "explosion of *light* "?

I’m choosing to follow Jesus. People, you have no idea how much I needed to hear this. All my life, I’ve been raised closed to god and to church, but I’ve never managed to surrender myself and accept Jesus and god as part of my life. Right now I was searching the name of this church and “how to believe in god”. Because I’ve been looking for answers and answers, questioning, and even if Craig which btw you have saved me, says it is good to ask questions, sometimes we gotta full stop and just have faith. Which is what I just needed. I was right now following the prayer and tears came to my eyes for the first time in a while, it felt soothing, like god accepted me and he was cleansing me. I don’t know if it makes sense, but I feel so good. Really gonna start my journey now. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU CRAIG AND ALL OF YOUR CHURCH. I send a big hug on your way and hope I get to meet you someday.

Praying for my dad to watch this and trust in Jesus

I’ve been losing my faith because of science. I tried the “AND” but with so many conflicting messages I was left confused and resulted in me just saying idk to everything. I was a missionary on Fire for God in 2018 and rn I am in the Navy. This message really sparked the fire I needed.

I did some terrible ugly things in my past that I was so ashamed of, but I laid them all down at Jesus feet and I told him what I had done . I knew He knew already but He wanted me to admit them to Him, and I did . I’m so grateful to be forgiven and given freedom from the chains . This was some years ago and I’m as grateful today as I was then . Thank You Lord. ! I will follow You for the rest of my life . 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️

May God continue to build our faith in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ Amen.

We discovered jet streams in the air and in the oceans from the Bible when Mathew Maury, an American oceanographer was sick and had his family read his bible to him. Literally one of the most important discoveries in regards to travel and trade

If you’re reading this, God wants you to know, it’s not too late. Go talk to him. He’s waiting for you ❤️🙏🏼

[Ghanaman]

Clinging on to clarity! That is a word for me. Often times i feel stuck when i feel like i don’t have enough clarity. Sometimes in your faith walk and discovering purpose there won’t be much clarity. But we have to keep moving forward anyways. In those moments we can always rely on our trust in God 🙏🏾 that is all you need. Amen thank you Pastor

5 years ago I was sick of living a failed lifestyle and I was sick of failing in every single relationship I had been in and I cried out to God begging Him to forgive me and show me How to live in His will instead of my will. I instantly got this earning and desire to read The Word of God every single day. The first 2 years I would give up my desire while slowly trying to take them back but I instantly felt distant from God so I wasn't going back to my old self so I wanted to let them desires go like smoking cigarettes again and this time it's forever because God has changed my desires the more and more I read His Word the more I earn for His Charater. If your sick of living a failed lifestyle I'd encourage you to start praying & reading The Word and you'll never regret it I promise. God is so loving and Just. Praise God for loving us first and for giving us the only direction to His solid foundation Amen 🙏🙌

Totally believe that Science and God agree! God lead me to write a small book and start a podcast about it! So I definitely think they go together! 😃

[beckygrove]

Jesus changed me too, and trust me, I've been down to the lowest...Thank you Jesus.

[sayantanpaul]

I'm from India and I can testify that this is one of the best churches in the world
Thank you soo much for your ministry

[justinmcknight]

I loved this! Thank you!

Also... I hate jelly, just for the record... ;)
I do peanut butter sandwich or peanut butter toast! 😎

Also...
I had the same mindset of not using what I learned in school but I was kind of a reversed version...
I loved history, geography, science and math. It was English I felt was an absolute waste of my time for all the pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives etc...
Now I'm trying to become an author
... guess what I have to study now that I didn't care about before... 🙄

[obonyoemmy]

Wow. In science, if our hypothesis is disproven, we don't give up. We ought to do the same with God. Wow.

[AndyGrau]

This message touched me deeply; it was powerful and precise!

Thank you so much, pastor Craig and Life Church team!
