According
to the Bible, in the beginning God spoke and the universe was created.
According
to science there was a BANG! and the universe can into existence.
Where is the
conflict between these two? There is none. The Bible and science
are in harmony.
Science has
not proved there is no God. Science has shown us how the universe
was created and it matches what the Bible says. The universe did
not start slowly and gradually grow into existance. The universe
has not been around forever. It started with a BANG! Just like the
Bible says, God spoke and it came into existence.
Please take
note that the Bible does not claim to provide a scientific explaination
of creation. The point being made in Genesis is not a scientific
point. The point of Genesis Chapter 1 (the creation) is that GOD
CREATED THE UNIVERSE and everything in it, including us. God is
making a theological point--He created us--not providing a scientific
textbook.
Still in Genesis
1:3 it says, "Then God said, 'Let there be light,' [BANG!]
and there was light."

part in brackets.)
