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)

Let the saints be joyful in glory, let them sing aloud on their beds, let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind the kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron. Psalm 149:5-8
