Many people believe science and faith are incompatible, but this stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of both. The Christian God is not a god of the gaps invented to explain natural phenomena, but the transcendent Creator who made everything from outside the universe. The scientific revolution actually began within Christian culture, with believers like Isaac Newton who saw their scientific work as studying God's creation. Three key Christian beliefs launched scientific discovery: the universe is good because God created it, it's ordered and intelligible, and human reason is reliable because we're made in God's image. All truth is God's truth, and when we study any aspect of reality, we're learning about our Creator.
