We’ve All Been Taught Wrong

Introduction: Science vs. Religion

I have always been fascinated by various areas of science and Christianity. I remember, as a child brought up in a Christian home, I had an extreme hunger for discovery that would sometimes get me in trouble. When I was around ten years old, I received a chemistry set as a gift. That evening, unbeknownst to my mother, I opened the chemistry set, discarded the instructions, and decided to go at it on my own. Within ten minutes of mixing random chemicals, my mother and I were experiencing intense headaches from the fumes. Our house smelled of sulfur for days after. Needless to say, my mother was not amused.

Later on in life, I became more interested in the idea of science in the Bible. I remember learning about Matthew Fontaine Maury: an oceanographer who first discovered underwater currents by taking the Psalms of the Bible literally. This was one of the first examples I had ever heard concerning someone using the Bible to initiate a scientific discovery.
