The Science of Faith
There is not a disjunction or disagreement between Biblical stories
and current scientific thought about the universe. They are paths
that strive to seek Truth. Science works to inform us about the
"how" of the creative process, and Bible stories and religion itself
help us to interpret the purposefulness of the "what" and the "why"
of creation to our lives. Science often employs deductive reasoning
to solve its problems, whereas the Bible stories make us look into
ourselves to a point where we 'feel' at both a cognitive and emotional
level that we understand something fundamentally true.

with current scientific thought?"
