As we learned yesterday, some Christians view nature on the same level as God’s Word, calling it the 67th book of the Bible. But can we look to nature as an objective source for God’s truth? No, we can’t.

You see, when we study nature without the infallible history provided in the Bible we don’t have the proper framework for understanding history. Instead we’re looking to our own wisdom and man’s ideas about the past for truth.

Nature can teach us some things about God and we should study it for his glory, but it’s not the Bible. Only God’s Word provides an objective starting point for all our thinking.
