Can you have faith and still believe in science?
Personal Response by Bethany
Yes! You can have faith and still believe in science. The scriptures clearly and repeatedly verify that God is the Creator of the earth, the heavens, and all things that are in them. They also attest that the elements of which the earth consists of are eternal. As a current biology major I am constantly tying science and religion together as I continually study the science of life and its spiritual connection with religion. As I increase my studies, my faith also increases as I see the hand of God in every aspect of life.
Elder Henry B. Eyring of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stated that, “the essence of the gospel is the doctrine of trying…and that, of course, is the essence of science, also: the doctrine of trying, testing, and proving. That’s the kind of procedure that makes science what it is.” The point is that the gospel teaches us to experiment with the words of the Savior and to do as a scientist would do to find the truth.
