SCIENCE
I. INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
Developments in science and technology have affected our way of living and have become a majorinfluence on our culture. Because of the impact they have had on our social, economic, and
political life, every citizen needs to have a fundamental understanding of these areas. The Scienceprogram therefore should provide students with a knowledge which goes beyond a functionalunderstanding of science and its influence on their daily lives. By combining the functional
understanding of science with God’s word, students should gain an increased understanding of Godand His creative and sustaining power. Such a study leads to the discovery that through faith the
visible things in nature reveal the invisible realities of God. (Romans 1:20)
