Science--True and False |
Genesis 2:9 12-19-20, It is significant that the first reference to “science” in the Bible is in connection with the tree of the “science” of good and evil. The English word “science” comes from the Latin scientia, meaning “knowledge.” In both Old and New Testaments, “science” and “knowledge” translate the same Greek and Hebrew words respectively. Science—properly speaking—is what we know, not naturalistic speculation (as in evolutionary “science”). Adam and Eve knew a great deal about God and His creation, and all of it was “very good” (Genesis 1:31); they did not need to have a knowledge of evil and God warned them against it (Gen 2:17). | However, they partook of the evil tree anyway, and therewith evil knowledge entered the hearts and minds of mankind. Throughout the long ages since, true science has been of great good in the world and false science has wrought great harm. The apostle Paul has warned us against it: “Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called” (1 Timothy 6:20). In the context of the times, Paul was specifically warning against the evolutionary pantheism of the gnostic philosophers. |
- “grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).
- “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7)
- In Jesus Christ “are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3).
Therefore, let us resolve to eschew the knowledge of evil and grow in the knowledge of Christ! Source
