What then was there before science, you ask? Prescience, or "foreknowledge." I came across this word for the first time in Martin Luther's "Bondage of the Will." Here's what the Bible says about God's foreknowledge in Romans 8:28-30 ....
"28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified."
Truly, there was (and is) prescience before mankind ever had the chance to embark upon science. How does that hit you? Can you handle the fact that God was knowing before there was even a material world (Eph. 1:4)? Can you handle the fact that science is not ultimate, even in the present? Rather, it is foreknowledge that is ultimate in the realm of knowledge - specifically, being foreknown by God. If He has given you faith to know He is real and to know He can take your sin away - you were and are and always will be foreknown by God's "prescience".
