[that is, the intricate laws governing the universe],
so men are
without excuse"
(Rom. 1:1 9-20, New
International Version).
Yes, to deny God 's existence with
prejudice- without seriously investigating the
possibility- is intellectual vanity.
Note here also, that God will not reveal himself

on jus t any terms. Men fal sely assume that God is
sorne sort of genie that must hearken to their every
beck and call. If God doesn ' t comply with their
queries, men reject him in their vani ty of mind. The
consequences emanating from this attitude, which
permeates education, are authoritatively explained in

Reconciling God and Science
Sorne critics assert that they cannot accept God
because religion
suppresses
scienti fic
activity.
Is scientific activity altogether contrary to God's
revealed religion?
"Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding"
(Proverbs 4:7, N IV) . That's what your Bible says.
Granted, much of th is world's religion is tradition
and superstition, and historically has suppressed
scientific activity. But God never established these
man-made rel igious supers titions.
God expects man to develop himself, to learn
about his world and surroundings.
" It
is the glory of
God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to
search out a matter" (Prov. 25:2).
But God qualifies the kind and basis of real
knowledge: "See to it that no one takes you captive
through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which
depends on human tradition and the basic principies of
this world rather than on Christ" (Col. 2:8, NIV).
