I have quoted previously from Ralph Smith’s Trinity and Reality. Here is another quote where he extols the virtues of a Christian view of science.

This view of creation [a biblical view] also makes the purpose of science very clear. Science is not the pursuit of ultimate answers, but penultimate answers-answers that will make us better stewards of the world. Science gives us the tools that extend our understanding in order to gain wisdom for dominion. From a Christian perspective, therefore, the work of science is a vital aspect of man’s fulfillment of his historical destiny. Man cannot develop the creation to its full potential without the work of science. (p. 65)
