Science asks us to believe things that are abstract, assumed, or hypothetical. They give us an idea and ask us to believe, with no shred of proof, and accept their idea as fact. Science and mathematics live in the realm of theory or the theoretical.
God lives in the realm of truth. He only speaks truth. His word, the Bible, is only truth.
"...Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar..." Romans 3:4
We walk by faith, not by theory or assumption. God's word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. We believe in Jesus because we have believed the Gospel. We believe in Jesus also because He has changed our lives. He has delivered us and we have been born again. This is not a theory to us, it is truth experienced.
One area where science and truth do not agree is in the idea of infinity. Infinity is an abstract idea which cannot be measured. But infinity is in contrast with the nature and character and revelation of Christ. God is not infinite. He is great and lifted up and mighty in wisdom and power. He holds creation in the palm of His hand. God does not have to be infinite, He just has to be greater than us. God is so great that Christ was sent to save us from our sins. Fully man and fully God, but limited in human form. Adam was created in God's image and likeness. Jesus came in man's image and likeness. God is Spirit, Christ is a faithful high priest to make intercession for us to God.
If you want your life built on solid rock, live for Jesus. Believe in unfounded and unproven theories and your will soon find yourself adrift on the sea of uncertainty and loneliness.
