1 Why Should We Study Truth in Science? Colossians 2:8 (KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. By studying Truth in Science we won t be deceived by philosophy and vain (empty) words John 3:12 (NKJV) If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? When we can believe the Bible to be accurate (without errors) for the things we can see, then we will have faith to believe the promise of the Bible for our destiny.
