This is our third post in a series examining why we teach what we teach here at ODCA. We are looking at the area of science today. 

We cannot talk about a biblical worldview of science without beginning with the subject of Creation. The fact that God created the world in six literal days is an essential belief of ours here at Open Door. When we study science, we are understanding how God crafted this world into existence in all of its exquisite detail and rich beauty. Much can be gleaned about our Creator from studying the world He gave us. 

Science reveals the care God shows for His children. Whether studying the human body or the world around us, one can see in science that God has designed the world to take care of us. A few examples of this are the perfect position of the sun 93 million miles from earth, the way that body heals itself after an injury, and the abundance of food that mankind can produce from the earth. 

Science shows us that God is a God of order. The rules and laws of science help us know that God did not haphazardly do anything; instead, He carefully designed the world to function properly. 

Science points to the reality of God’s power and transcendence. This world is incredibly complex and our universe is larger than we can comprehend. These realities serve as a reminder that God is far above His Creation. We are therefore accountable to Him and should submit our lives to Him.
