The end of science and the end of theology

Here is a rough outline of some of the ideas I am working on for the talk I will give for the GBU in Strasbourg tomorrow night.

What does science say about the fast and the future?
Everything has not always been the same.
Everything will not stay the same.
Specifically, science tells us
  • the universe had a beginning
  • time has a direction
  • life on earth will not be sustainable forever
  • the universe itself may end
What does the Bible say about the future?
I plan to look at Acts 17:22-31 and 2 Peter 3:1-13 which illustrate the following points:

Everything has not always been the same.
Everything will not stay the same.
Specifically, the Bible tells us:
  • the universe had a beginning
  • history is heading towards the end of the universe
  • God will judge with perfect justice and righteousness
  • God wants us to repent
  • Jesus' death and resurrection gives Christians confidence of their redemption.
  • Christians are to wait patiently in expectation for Jesus return
