Science and the Bible Dr. James R. Adair Origins of the Conflict Ever since the end of the Middle Ages (which coincides with the beginning of the Protestant Reformation in the early 16th century)‚ some Christians have had problems accepting the teachings of science. The origins of modern scientific thought go back to the Renaissance‚ when people rediscovered the teachings‚ art‚ and thought of the ancient Greeks and‚ of equal importance‚ began to see the importance of thinking for themselves‚ outside

Modeling Additive manufacturing takes virtual blueprints from computer aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software and "slices" them into digital cross-sections for the machine to successively use as a guideline for printing. Depending on the machine used‚ material or a binding material is deposited on the build bed or platform until material/binder layering is complete and the final 3D model has been "printed." It is a WYSIWYG process where the virtual model and the physical model are almost

In the early 1960s‚ the emergence of the theory of plate tectonics started a revolution in the earth sciences. Since then‚ scientists have verified and refined this theory‚ and now have a much better understanding of how our planet has been shaped by plate-tectonic processes. We now know that‚ directly or indirectly‚ plate tectonics influences nearly all geologic processes‚ past and present. Indeed‚ the notion that the entire Earth’s surface is continually shifting has profoundly changed the way
