Creation Essay 5 5. The Relationship of Science to Biblical Faith 1.
Science is a human enterprise which leads to knowledge of the natural world.
This knowledge is tentative, not absolute, and is subject to revision based upon new empirical data. Science deals with observable, reproducible data. The scriptural revelation provides knowledge about both the natural world and the supernatural. This knowledge is absolute and is not subject to revision based upon empirical data. The origin of the universe, galaxies, solar system, earth, life, species, and man was not observed and cannot be reproduced by man, so questions of origins lie outside of empirical science.
