The Problem of Christianity vs. Science

Within the realms of science, they will tell you that there is no room for God. No, they won't necessarily call you stupid for believing there is a God but they will not allow you to play in their field if you bring Him with you.

What's wrong with this picture?
Why is it that in God's universe men have the audacity to tell Him, the Maker what they study and claim to understand, that He's not allowed within the realm of science? Am I the only one who sees how obsurd that is? Surely not.

I would like to suggest that it is the fault of the Christians just as much as it is the fault of the scientists. Though the scientists tell us that we can't study science because we drag God into it, Christians are too timid and passive to stand up for the Truth -- which by the way, does belong in all of the sciences.

Why are we so quiet? Are we afraid that they are right? Do we fear that we might possibly prove that God is a lie just like they say?
Have we no sense at all? We are better suited than anyone to explore God's universe and study it. We have our eyes opened to the truth of the Gospel. This allows us to see the world for what it is: God's. If we can see it in view of the Gospel we will see even more clearly that faith and reason aren't two seperate worlds. They belong together unified.

Craig said, "We treat them like their right!"
I agree with him. There is no place for timidity and passivity within the christian life. If we don't stand up for what is Truth, who will? The scientists? We have spent the last two hundred years "letting the scientists handle it" and we see how well they've upheld the Truth, don't we?

We have no right to be fearful.
Scripture commands us to fight the good fight.
That is applicable in all aspects of the christian life.
What are we waiting for?
