(apologetic in support of Christianity as Science Starter)
The rise of modern science cannot be explained apart from the Christian view of nature as good and worthy of study, which led the early scientists to regard their work as obedience to the cultural mandate to "till the garden."
(Genesis 3:23; 1:26-31 Stewards of the earth)
In the biblical worldview, scientific investigation of nature became both a calling and an obligation.
Kepler is, once again, a good example. When he discovered the third law of planetary motion...this was for him "an astounding confirmation of a geometer god worthy of worship. He confessed to being 'carried away by unutterable rapture at the divine spectacle of heavenly harmony'."*
Science used without guile leads to WORSHIP.

I think Aaron would like this. It's frustrating to see Christians ignoring (or scared of) science, as opposed to using it as a tool to discover the Creator's work.
By all means, Danielley!
Nancy Pearcey's article and her latest "Saving Leonardo" book has Aa's name all over it. Even I could understand her article, "Christianity is the Science Starter." So informative.
