Definition Of Science
Greek scientia - to attain knowlege
Oxford dictionary - a branch of knowledge involving systematized observations and experiments
National Academy of Science -
…a particular way of knowing about the world. In science, explanations are limited to those based on observations and experiments that can be substantiated by other scientists. Explanations that cannot be based on empirical evidence are not part of science . . . Scientists can never be sure that a given explanation is complete and final. Some hypotheses advanced by scientists turn out to be incorrect when tested by further observations and experiments. Yet many scientific explanations have been so thoroughly tested and confirmed that they are held with great confidence.
The Truth About Science
1. Science only examines the physical world
2. Science is only possible because there is order in the universe

The Truth About The Bible
1. The Bible was not written as a textbook
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.
( 2 Timothy 3 : 16 )
2. The Bible is God's truth and science seeks to discover the truth
