Art vs Science 2
Art is not the opposite of Science. Scientists are just as inspired to their discoveries as we are. In relation to hermeneutics now that “science” has taken over in certain Theological Schools it is easier to misunderstand the scriptures the more you study. The things I admire about science are (1) the clear ability to say when an experiment fails and (2) the ability to repeat an experiment and all things being equal get the same result. Science has it’s drawbacks though. There is a conventional wisdom in Science that can be behind the rejection of and persecution for a new discovery. And you cannot figure out how to live and get your daily needs on scientific principles. There is an Art to living which is encapsulated in a verse of scripture that you cannot get from Science, “…He has shown you o man what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God…” (Micah 6:8 LKJV – Les’s KJV old words changed to current usage e.g. “shewed” = “shown” and “doth” = “does” and no other changes.)
