contradiction” (NPR, 2010 ). I have always asked myself, how did God created the Earth? I still ponder that. We know from the first book in the bible that God created the world on day one (whatever that means in God years). So what if science has a few theories on how it happened.

we know, or think we know about the universe and cosmology. The first few chapters of the book are aimed at explaining the basics of physics and how it has progressed over time, It goes on to talk about Newton's laws and explain what a scientific theory is.

This is perfect as the book is aimed at ordinary

Do we believe in magic or do we believe in science, or are the two mutually symbiotic? The debate between fact and fiction may have well just begun. The explosion of the scientific method and theory rapidly set in motion a system in which conclusions could only be formed after substantial qualitative and quantitative experimentation. Then the results will either concur with or invalidate the hypothesis. The results that were compiled dichotomized the world we live in, by differentiating what is fact
