&adies and gentlemen
Before ! answer that .uestion/ is better for us to know what is science and technology first-
"cience is a knowledge based on facts which are set according to truth test a system0s behavior while
technology is the knowledge f the use of tools and crafts and how it affects the ability to control and adapt to
their natural environment
From this sense can be seen that science tends to be grounded in theory/ while technology is an applied
science The church is a community or an individual who believes in &ord 1esus Technology and science are closely
related to the church because church and technology must go hand in hand and in accordance with of God is in the
Bible
The influence of the )hristianity which led to the birth of science and technology is a reflection of the attitude of
the )hristian is responsible for the task given to man as God which is written in Genesis 23 45 that say God blessed
them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over
the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
From that verse is underlying the birth of science and technology From the verse that gave birth to the human mind
how they can rule the earth in accordance with the will of God
'ow let me give you some e6amples of the link between science and technology with )hristianity First/ the
flood history that God commanded 'oah to build ship to rescue He and his family from destruction due to flood and
depravity of the world at the time The dimensional space in the ship has been determined by God ( Genesis 6: 1!
1"#.
"econdly/ when 7oses was ordered to make tabernacle($%odus &":'#/ God Himself has become the architect who
planned the spaces/ dimensions and materials for the tabernacle ( $%odus &": 1!&(#
Third/ about the temple and the palace built by King "alomo ( 1 )ing (!*# and etc
From the e6amples above we can be seen that God never obstruct all the development of science and technology (e
can see in the e6amples that every technology is always in associate with salvation and God0s purpose for man and
the world
&adies and Gentlemen
"cience and technology has started since the beginning of human history Humans have the creative power of
science and technology because he was created as image of God and as a person who understands God never limit
the creativity of science and technology and human creations Thus/ human are given absolute freedom by God to be
master of this nature include technology invented to good purpose and that is mainly to praise and glorify the name of
God
&adies and Gentlemen
From the e6planation above we can know that science and technology can mutually support one another They
cannot be separated from )hristian Faith )hristian Faith is believing precede knowledge means Trust in God first
then we can know Him/ because He cannot proven with through limited human knowledge To obtain true knowledge/
first of all people should have the respect and fear of the &ord "aid in Proverbs 238 +he fear of the ,ord is the
beginning of -isdom. .ools despise -isdom and instru/tion.0
The bible say 1 -ise man -ill hear, and -ill in/rease learning; and a man of understanding shall attain
unto -ise /ounsels. From this verse we can see that God actually wants us/ humans continue to development
themselves/ increase knowledge and understanding This means that we do not need stay away from science and
technology/ but we must keep it getting better and better
"o ! conclude that science and technology have two side/ negative and positive side (e as humans should be
and should use them to the positive things and that is definitely the ultimate goal is to praise and glorify the name of
God ! the world
That0s all my speech/ may what ! have delivered be useful in our life !f you found many mistake in my speech please
forgive me Thank you for attention
