What on Earth is God doing? Relating theology and science through biblical theology

It is common to consider faith and science in terms of two books: "The Book of Scripture" and "The Book of Nature." In our media, schools, universities, and even in some churches, it is held that these two "books" are incompatible--one is correct, the other is in error--which-is-which depends on your point of view. The problem with this polarizing view can be seen in how the word "literal" is used by both atheists and Christians alike to support their respective positions. However, if God is the Creator, then this position is untenable, since both books of revelation reveal the same God.
