‘He upholds all things by the word of His power’ [Hebrews 1:1-3].
The darwinites are such friends of tyranny that they will not acknowledge that suppression of academic freedom is not a good thing. They like to bring up Scopes, but now the roles are reversed. The new fundamentalists are disciples of Darwin rather than Moses. They will not allow open debate about their religion because they have dressed it up under the cloak of science.
It is the job of the scientist to question science. A theory should stand or fall on its merit. Anomalies in a theory are an important part of scientific investigation. They lead to advancement in knowledge. The job of the cultist is to suppress critical opposition and hide the anomalies.
Fraud along with the suppression of data is a mockery of the scientific method. Darwinism has now become synonymous with anti-science.
Good science will be to the benefit of man. Stating that opposing views are held by those to ignorant to understand is arrogant elitism, especially when the theory directly opposes the Christian world view and undermines the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Biblical Christianity and science are not incompatible. They are both concerned with truth. Biblical Theology is derived from God’s revelation of Himself in Scripture. We expect to see the majestic and the awesome in its doctrine of God and His works. Science is a search for truth revealed in the physical universe. We expect to see orderly and repeatable behavior consistent with the nature of the Creator. These are the scientific laws that govern cause-and-effect. Random behavior that is the basis of evolution theory would make science impossible.
There may be an infinite number of possible ways for a process to occur, but all these are not probable. For example, when an object is dropped it will always fall toward the center of the earth. The only probable action is that which obeys the natural law of gravity. So it is with bio-chemistry and the life sciences. The probable reactions obey the natural laws governing those processes.
It is poor logic to say that because science deals with natural, cause-and-effect relationships, the first cause must be a natural event. If the first cause were a natural consequence of something else, it would not be the first cause. This testifies to the eternal and transcendent nature of the Creator rather than an argument against Him. That God must have a first cause is the fatal logic where many atheists hang their hat.
