I (don’t)believe science can tell us about God. One is a painter and the other is a painting, metaphorically. You can’t know Picasso by studying his paintings.


General Revelation:

Question: “What is general revelation and special revelation?”

Answer: General revelation and special revelation are the two ways God has chosen to reveal Himself to humanity. General revelation refers to the general truths that can be known about God through nature. Special revelation refers to the more specific truths that can be known about God through the supernatural.

In regard to general revelation, Psalm 19:1-4 declares, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” According to this passage, God’s existence and power can be clearly seen through observing the universe. The order, intricacy, and wonder of creation speak to the existence of a powerful and glorious Creator.

Yes I agree God can make himself known by watching the sunrise, contemplating the stars, or immersing yourself in the beauties of nature. The Bible also tells us to worship the God of nature instead of nature itself. You shouldn’t confuse the two.
