If we're honest we may be leaving our devotional time unsatisfied and confused. In this lesson Michael will show you a simple method to help you get more out of your study time and jump start ideas on digging deeper. The 5Ws & the H method (Who, What, When Where, How) is a simple method that helps to develop investigative questions to better understand the scripture you are studying. Some tools you will need are a few different Bible translations which you can access at sites like https://www.biblegateway.com/ or by using the Bible App: https://www.bible.com/app. You may also need a few other resources on ancient history, culture, archeology and/or a very good search engine to help answer some tougher questions. To demonstrate how this method works, Michael will be using the parable of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl found in Matthew 13:44-46. You can follow along as he generates questions from the method and shows you how to find answers.

However there is a science that has continually confirmed Biblical history over and over again. The field of Archeology which seeks to uncover the mysteries of the past and confirm the known record continues to unearth evidence of people, cultures and events from the Bible. One of these discoveries was made as recently as 2018, confirming the existence of Pontius Pilate and King Herod. In this lesson Michael shows how this discovery was made and using a replica of the archeological evidence, explains the significance of this discovery.

This lesson covers the field of Oceanography and how we came to map currents and the seafloor in addition to some questions regarding the “Sea Monster” from the book of Jonah. Many do not know that what inspired American Navy Captain Matthew Maury to sound the ocean floor and map current was a Bible study. Some of the oldest texts of scripture refer to mountains, currents and springs in the ocean while the science of the time taught something entirely different. We know now that the biblical descriptions of the sea were correct all along!

This lesson examines more closely the field of Geology, its historical development and the geological descriptions that can be found in the Bible. The Bible does not have much to say on geology but the little it does is striking. For instance, Isaiah describes the earth as if he’s describing the theory of Isostasy. The nature and location of fossils across the globe from aquatic creatures in the Himalayas to jelly fish in central Wisconsin point to evidence of a worldwide catastrophe, mirroring the account of Noah’s flood. This lesson also addresses the problems with Flat Earth theory being embraced by some Christian leaders and the misuse of scripture.

Download the full lesson and Power Point at: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/physicalscience/ Welcome to the third video in an 11 part series titled “Science & the Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This third lesson explores Physical Science, the historical development of evolutionary theory and Catastrophism, the Biblical ties to Physical Science and these theories and finally the importance of the first and second law of thermodynamics. The theory of Uniformity developed in the 18th century by a Scottish geologist is what eventually gave birth to the theory of Evolution and the idea of an old earth with a long Geological Time Scale. Uniformity cannot be tested because of its long time scale. In contrast Catastrophism, a much older and easily observable geological view, takes the perspective that the earth is not as old and is geologically shaped by catastrophes such as floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. How do these two views change our interpretation of evidence like the Grand Canyon? How do these theories stack up against Physics and laws of thermodynamics?

Download the full lesson and Power Point at: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/godthecreator/ Welcome to the second video in an 11 part series titled “Science & the Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This second lesson highlights the case for intelligent design within the scientific community, the scientific probability problems of evolutionary theory, the scriptural problems with the theistic evolution and God’s nature as a Creator based on descriptions from scripture. The popular narrative is that evolutionary theory is widely accepted as fact among scientists and even among Christian where theistic evolution is becoming more prominent. However there are many scientists, including atheists, who, when considering the mathematical probability and complexity of the universe, admit life is nothing short of a miracle and the existence of an intelligent designer is possible. Theistic evolution runs into conflict with Old and New Testament descriptions of God as a Creator. Evolutionary Theory runs into conflict with mathematics and scientific probability. The Bible is not a science textbook but it is essential for us to recognize when it is describing the natural world and the processes God has designed that we observe as physics, biology, meteorology and others. These descriptions are correct and will be explored in more detail in the following lessons.

Download the full lesson and Power Point at: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/sciencetruegod/ Welcome to the first video in an 11 part series titled “Science & the Bible!” This series examines the relationship between different disciplines of Science and the Bible and the arguments surrounding this topic. This introduction addresses the claim that “science is the true god” and the problems associated with this claim. Science is a process of discovering how the world works but we seldom stop to think on the actual process and its limitations. Science has changed and even flip flops its stance on a regular basis. There are also some areas of science which take on more philosophical approaches as complex theories become impossible to test with the traditional scientific method. Science and faith seem to mix a lot more often than we think! And if science is the new religion, how does it stack up to the God of the Bible?
