Introduction
SCIENTISTS HAVE ALWAYS SOUGHT KNOWLEDGE
FROM THEIR OBSERVATION OF STUDY
Do we really need proof that God exists.
If so, for some people, "Oh ye, of little faith",
then science is the proof. Yes, science proves the existence of God.
Science has always pointed to God and science proves the existence of God. Scientists through the ages have wisely sought out knowledge from painstakingly systematized observation and study. And where does all this knowledge come from? It comes from God. "Because the Lord giveth wisdom and out of his mouth cometh prudence and knowledge." PRV: 2:6
Many Scientific discoveries have been made from Christian scientists to benefit man and society.
