Our culture has elevated science to divine status. Even though the culture contradicts itself in believing in only relative truth, it routinely elevates scientific truth to absolute truth. There is a better approach to understanding the natural realm and science, than what is currently understood in the secular world. This paper will show that the secular view of the natural realm is inadequate. It will develop a biblical view and foundation for science. An understanding of Dispensationalism will be instructive. Ten points help demonstrate that the Sovereign Lord of the Bible has introduced different dispensations in His relationship with mankind in history and affected changes in the natural realm, sometimes radical changes. This will show that God is sovereign not only over history, but also over the entire natural realm. This has vast implications for scientific investigations.

Lust. Sexual immorality. Faithfulness in marriage. Does Biblical teaching about these make you squirm uncomfortably?

See that both the husband and wife are to respect one another in a way that promotes stability in their family and for society.

When God created mankind, did He design social structures so they would prosper? Listen to this lesson to learn about the first three social structures God decreed to help the human race know how to live the right way. Find out that when mankind follows these Divine Institutions they live fulfilling lives, and when they disobey them and try to create their own rules, they live in chaos and turmoil. See the importance of submission and authority and the Creator-creature distinction.
