Science, Medicine, & Healthcare

Because God is the Creator of the World, He is also the Master Scientist and Great Physician. His Word is Truth that applies directly to all realms of science and medicine, and through His Word, the Lord reveals a true understanding of His creation.

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge

- 1 Timothy 6:20

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;  you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

- Luke 5:31

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

- Colossians 1:15-16

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

- Isaiah 40:22

Our God is the creator of the whole world and all that is in it. Everything He created bears His fingerprints, and the study of His creation is designed to lead us back to a deeper knowledge of Him. Because God is the Creator of the World, He is also the Master Scientist and Great Physician. His Word is Truth that applies directly to all realms of science and medicine, and through His Word, the Lord reveals a true understanding of His creation.

It was through reading the Scriptures that Christopher Columbus dared to dream that the world was round and not flat (Isaiah 40:22). It was through a belief in God and respect for His Word governing creation that the greatest scientists in history like Sir Isaac Newton, Galileo, Blaise Pascal, Johannes Kepler, Sir Francis Bacon, Nicolas Copernicus, Charles Barkla, Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday, and many more revolutionized the world as we know it.

Those who study and practice science and medicine observe God’s creation and the consequences of the fall (like death and decay) in special ways. Like Jesus, they care called to respond compassionately and point people back to the Lord as their Creator, Sustainer, Healer, and Savior.
