Instead, the two are in beautiful harmony, says Sy Garte. Here’s why Christians can feel confident in the truth of scripture and how it supports scientific discovery
Listening to a beautiful harmony is deeply moving. There are, of course, mathematical rules around sound wave frequencies that explain the concept of harmony. But the science cannot explain our response: hearing two lines of music at the same time can be dissonant to the point of painful, or move us to tears of joy.
For something to be harmonious with something else, the two cannot be identical. Harmony requires that two different notes - or ideas, colors, statements, photographs, items of clothing etc - go well together, not only despite their differences, but because of them.
I strongly believe that the teachings of science are harmonious with the tenets of Christianity; two different melodies played on different instruments that, together, result in a spiritually satisfying worldview of God as creator of the natural world, including us.
