问题    Is the study of science simply a discipline in search of laws relating to the existence of material truths? Or is it also a search for principles which testify to the reality of a single Creator who has predetermined and man- dated the existence of all things, both material and spiritual, according to certain comprehensive and interrelated universal laws?
   Recently, many cosmologists--scientists who study the structure and origin of the universe--have acknowledged that there is a definite link between the scientific and religious accounts of the Creation.
   An account on the subject "where life begins" indicated that recent cosmological studies relating to the origin of Creation tend to validate the biblical account. The universe, according to the studies, was a huge fireball created about twenty billion years ago by the magnificently illuminating explosion of a giant primordial atom. The Bible describes the Creation in these words:
   In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light." And there was light. (Genesis 1)
   At another level of scientific inquiry, oceanographers--scientists who study the origin, composition and life forms found in the ocean and bodies of water--have been searching to determine whether the oceans would be a productive source of food supply for humankind in the future. Water bodies and oceans cover 70% of the earth’s surface and oceanographers are firmly convinced that they can be utilized as a potential source of Christianity and Islam appears to attest to the validity of scientific investigation in the development of ocean resources as source of food supply.
   The Koran states: "And He is who had made the sea subservient to you that you may eat flesh from it and bring forth ornaments which you wear and you might see the ships cleaving through it and that you might seek of his bounty and give thanks." (Koran 16..14)
   In the words of the poet Walt Whitman, in his Leaves of Grass,
   "I say the whole earth and the stars are in the sky for religion’s sake." (370)
