PHOTOS: ✨New Bethlehem Men’s Prayer Breakfast Recap! 3/6/25✨

This past Thursday, we had an incredible discussion on Science vs. Religion at the Men’s Prayer Breakfast. β˜•πŸ™ Special thanks to Dr. Barry Snyder for sharing his wisdom and insights on the relationship between faith, science, and creation.

πŸ”¬ Is science and scripture in conflict?
πŸ“– Does the Bible follow a strict chronological order in Genesis?
⏳ How does God operate beyond time and space?

We explored powerful ideas from Dr. John Lennox and David Gooding, discussing whether the Days of Creation are literal or symbolic, how natural selection and divine intervention can coexist, and the impact of scripture on our modern world. 🌍✨

Key Takeaways:
βœ… β€œIn the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” 🌎
βœ… Science and faith do not have to be enemies! 🀝
βœ… God speaks through the world – His creation tells a story. πŸ“–

Huge thank you to Evermoores Staff for hosting, and to everyone who joined us for this thought-provoking discussion. πŸ’¬

*On the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month, area men gather together for food, fellowship, prayer and to hear a challenging message from a pastor, missionary or ministry. During Lent, we gather every Thursday. Men of all ages are welcome to join in fellowship with us.
