Ellen White Statements on Science and the Bible
The Ellen White Estate first prepared a compilation of Ellen White statements on the Bible and science for a Geoscience Research Institute geology tour in 1966. This material was expanded and reformatted for the 1976 geology tour. Here, we present that material, arranged by topic. In addition, we have added an important chapter from Testimonies for the Church, Volume 8, entitled “The Essential Knowledge.”
To assist the reader in dealing with some of the issues here, we include a few references to scholarly studies of her statements on the Bible and science.
Science and Revelation (Signs of the Times articles, 1884)
Science and the Bible (Education)
The Basic Statement 1864 (“Disguised Infidelity”)
