Biblical Worldview

Veritas Academy approaches all of its teaching from a Biblical worldview. Therefore, our values and attitudes associated with scientific inquiry are shaped by a Biblical worldview. As such, we recognize that the nature and source of knowledge is God’s revelation, both general and specific. He [God] is before all things, and in him all things hold together ( Col. 1:17 New International Version). The following statements are critical to our approach in teaching science:

• There is no conflict between scientific investigation and discoveries with a biblical world view (Gen. 1:1, Heb. 11:3)
• Biblical morality and ethics must guide our scientific investigation (Rom. 1:21-25, Prov. 12:10, Matt. 10:31, Prov. 25:2)
• A basic education includes a fundamental understanding of scientific investigation as well as foundational history of scientific development through the ages (1 Kings 4:29-34)
