“On the one hand, it is true that modern science does not require a person to be a Christian: it recognizes a general human condition, according to which the procedures and results of science must be accessible to any competent investigator, regardless of ideological or religious persuasion. So it is fair to say that practicing science does not require one to see science as a vocation. But on the other hand, those scientists who are Christian lose a great deal when they are trained to see their work merely as a profession. Indeed, as Nancy Pearcey has argued, these scientists often experience considerable internal confl¬ict, because they do not see how to relate their life as a Christian with their work as a scientist.” (The Intersection of Science & Christian Theology)

When we go out to do our work, we’ll be more successful and satisfied if we take Christ with us to our work. Why not make use of knowing the Person Who has all knowledge, wisdom, and understanding? Why not develop that relationship through open communication with the only counselor, teacher, and leader who knows all things?

“A Christ against culture approach is liable to reject at least some of science on the grounds that its assumptions, aims, practices, and claims conflict with allegiance to Christ and His Word. At a moderate level, this might involve refusing to seriously evaluate or use particular statements, theories, and technologies. A more extreme reaction would be to reject the work and institutions of science altogether as idolatrous and godless diversions from Christ. Either way, it is likely that Christians with this perspective will feel uncomfortable about scientific work and this will disincline them to pursue science as a vocation.” (The Intersection of Science & Christian Theology)

The culture is the world. This quote isn’t condoning being a friend of the world since God tells us that whoever is a friend of the world is an enemy of God. We aren’t of the culture, but we’re in the culture. We influence the culture for Christ. We recognize that God has revealed some knowledge to people who deny Christ, and we can learn from them. However, we know that they can only function at the brute-beast level, and they know it too. When they begin to speak about things like history, the future, morality, epistemology, or ontology, they’re out of their league. We may want to be gentle if we have to tell them that, but we need to remember that they don’t have a basis for rational thought.

“Evolution is just as religious as Creation because both views require faith on the part of their adherents. No one saw God create the universe, and no one saw the “big bang” occur. Both views are religious as far as origins are concerned.” (Fables and Facts about Creation and Evolution)
