TEXT C Is the study of science
simply a discipline in search of laws relating to the existence of material
truths Or is it also a search for principles which testify to the reality of a
single Creator who has predetermined and man dated the existence of all things,
both material and spiritual, according to certain comprehensive and interrelated
universal laws Recently, many cosmologists--scientists who
study the structure and origin of the universe--have acknowledged that there is
a definite link between the scientific and religious accounts of the
Creation. An account on the subject "where life begins"
indicated that recent cosmological studies relating to the origin of Creation
tend to validate the biblical account. The universe, according to the studies,
was a huge fireball created about twenty billion years ago by the magnificently
illuminating explosion of a giant primordial atom. The Bible describes the
Creation in these words: In the beginning, God created the
heaven and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon
the face of the deep and the Spirit of Cod was moving over the face of the
waters. And God said, "Let there be light." And there was light. (Genesis
1) At another level of scientific inquiry,
oceanographers--scientists who study the origin, composition and life forms
found in the ocean and bodies of water--have been searching to determine whether
the oceans would be a productive source of food supply for humankind in the
futura. Water bodies and oceans cover 70% of the earth’s surface and
oceanographers are firmly convinced that they can be utilized as a potential
source of Christianity and Islam appears to attest to the validity of scientific
investigation in the development of ocean resources as source of food
supply. The Koran states, "And He is who had made the sea
subservient to you that you may eat flesh from it and bring forth ornaments
which you wear and you might see the ships cleaving through it and that you
might seek of his bounty and give thanks." (Koran 16:14) In the
words of the poet Walt Whitman, in his Leaves of Grass, "I say
the whole earth and the stars are in the sky for religion’s sake." (370) A possible title of this passage is ______.
A．Science and Religion B．The Science of Religion C．The Origin of the Universe D．The Creation of the World
