The Bible and Science




Quote of the Day:

Evangelicals too often worship at the shrine of science.  They are under the illusion to convince their audience that they are merely contemplating simple conclusions from the Bible, when they are really contemplating conclusions from the Bible shaped by their preunderstandings of how the Bible should be read . . . Millions of Evangelicals think they are defending the Bible by defending creation science, but in reality they are giving ultimate authority to the merely temporal, situated, and contextualized interpretations of the Bible that arose from the mania for science of the early nineteenth century"

(By Mark Noll, The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind)
