Science vs. God

In this ever crazy world there is always an attempt to pit science against God. The only problem is one is an Absolute while the other is changing. Of course this is all belief, those who do not believe in the existence of God do not believe he is of course absolute. I am in no way claiming science is an illegitimate art as it brings many good things, but to pit it against God is a fallacy.

While God remains true and absolute, the Alpha and Omega, science is in a constant state of change. What is true one day is false the next; what is thought to be right is wrong. It is a belief system that is based upon seeing is believing i.e. empirical data. The problem with this is that it limits the scope of the mind and world. A rock is only a rock after it has been proven a rock and even then it could change to be something else. Remember people used to believe the ocean was flat.

So how does God work into this. God as I mentioned before is absolute, timeless, Alpha and Omega. Sure humans have evolved the perceptions of God even twisting the perception of God, but God has remained absolute even though humans have twisted his role in life. The only confounding problem is the fact human eyes can't measure, test, or hypothesis about God. They are given a text (Bible) and the rest is in their heart and faith. Believers in God are either the craziest people in the world or the smartest. A rocks definition can change over time just as the perception of how the world works changes daily, but one thing will never change God. Maybe I am crazy but I would rather believe that something out there is in fact the Constant State rather than believe in a chance filled world. Kind of an oxymoron, science (measureable) not concrete but God (unmeasurable) is concrete. Ponder that for a while.
