SCIENCE Cartoons (math, science, cosmology, physics, and… miracles)
Ecclesiastes 11:5 As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
Science is the finite study of what infinite God created.
Science examines the boundaries of time and space, while God transcends both time and space.
Science supports our Christian beliefs. There is alignment rather than airtight proof. This is where our FAITH in the truly unknown becomes paramount. We believe in a God whose supernatural presence is the reason for all things physical. This Supernatural presence is behind the intelligent design of all things physical, and not only that, but I also believe God created mankind in His own image. So, there is a personal bond with God that, if we slow down and think about it, is… BREATHTAKING.
IN THE BEGINNING. The Big Bang theory—widely accepted, suggests everything (time, space, matter) began from a single point. As Christians, we tie this to Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth.” A beginning needs a cause, and science can’t explain what sparked it. Cosmologist Stephen Hawking dodged with “no boundary” ideas, but many see a First Cause—God—as fitting. The fine-tuning argument builds on this: constants like gravity or the strong nuclear force are so precise (e.g., 1 part in 10^60 for the cosmological constant) that life’s possible only because they’re just right. Random chance feels thin; design feels probable.
Life’s complexity. DNA’s info density—3 billion base pairs in humans, coding for everything—staggers odds of random assembly. Biochemist Michael Behe pushes “irreducible complexity” (like the bacterial flagellum’s motor-like parts), arguing it’s too intricate to evolve step-by-step without purpose. Evolutionists counter with gradual pathways, but Christians say the jump from non-life to life (abiogenesis) still has no solid lab demo—Miller-Urey made amino acids, not cells. They nod to John 1:3, “Through him all things were made.”
order and laws. Science runs on predictable rules—gravity, thermodynamics. Christians ask: why’s the universe rational? They quote Einstein (“The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible”) and see a mind behind it, like Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” Newton and Kepler, devout Christians, saw their work as decoding God’s design.
historical Jesus. Science here is archaeology and textual analysis. The New Testament’s manuscripts (over 5,800 Greek copies, earliest fragments within decades of events) outnumber other ancient works like Homer’s Iliad (650 copies, 500-year gap). Non-Christian sources—Josephus, Tacitus—confirm Jesus lived, died under Pilate, and sparked a movement. Resurrection’s unprovable—bodies don’t rise in labs—but the empty tomb and rapid Christian growth (Acts 2) get circumstantial nods. Apologists like Gary Habermas argue the disciples’ willingness to die for it suggests something big happened.
Of course, as Christians, we also believe in the X Factor… God does Miracles. If creation with all its complexities was not enough, then we throw in miracles throughout the Bible like… The parting of the Red Sea, the virgin birth of Jesus, and Jesus feeding 5,000 with a few loaves, and fishes. Oh, and let’s not forget Jesus’ resurrection from the Dead. - Mic Drop - This all points to our God, the creator of life’s rules in physics, overrides natural law whenever He chooses. Science demands natural explanations; faith accepts supernatural ones. Evolution challenges literal Genesis readings, though some reconcile it as God-guided. And fine-tuning could just be luck—we’re here because it worked, anthropic principle-style.
So, while science doesn’t “prove” Christianity true—it’s not designed to—it points, IMO, to a caused universe, complex life, rational order, and a historical anchor. Skeptics say it’s gap-filling—God’s not required. But I say it takes more faith to NOT BELIEVE IN GOD and to believe everything came from nothing with no purpose behind it.
It comes down to we put our faith in something. Some put their faith in science alone, but I choose to put my faith in the creator, not the creation.
Isaiah 55: 8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
