SCIENCE and RELIGION: 

The Real Story

Is Evolution anti-Christian? Is the Big Bang Theory contrary to the Bible? Is Science really just an atheistic religion? A lot of American Christians think so. They claim you cannot believe in science and the Bible.

Since the 1800’s the idea that religion and science were historically bitter enemies, competing with each other as keepers of the Truth has been  accepted by the American public.

The fact is this is not true.

A little history lesson will teach you that there has never been a mean old church beating up on poor innocent scientists who were just trying to do their job.

A little history lesson will teach you that most of the “scientists” of their days were deeply religious and many were ordained clergy.

A little history lesson will teach you that every new scientific discovery had both scientists and theologians for it and against it.

A little history lesson will delight and captivate you as Dr. John Oliver shows you the real story behind this so called conflict between Science and Religion. You will learn how they have coexisted for more than 1000 years! And YES you can be a Christian and accept science.
