There exists an unnecessary tension.
Oftentimes people have been led to believe that faith is in opposition to science, that belief is different to fact, that creation is incompatible with evolution. That if one wants to be a good, faithful Christian, one must reject intelligent reason.
Numerous Christians offer their extraordinary God given gifts to the world via their services in different fields of the natural sciences. Yet, somehow, they do so with a sense of dissonance, rationalising that such activity is unspiritual.
There lingers the idea that faith in Christ is disconnected from and unconcerned with scientific activity.
Yet, it is my view that we are in error when we decide that different disciplines of knowledge are in competition with each other.
