Science

[Emily~Anne]

I'm an intellectual, went to school and learned Evolution like everybody else, furthered studies on tertiary education and spent more than three decades of my life as an atheist. The time came to question my worldview, I prayed for faith and was led to Jesus.

Believing the evidence for Jesus is objectively and scientifically easier than believing in the Big Bang, Abiogenesis and Macro-evolution, which have actually become a paradigm that outweighs the evidence they were supposed to be based on. Don't just trust me, rather find it out for yourself. Nothing can ever be more ambiguous than a history of life written by an evolutionist.

Bible interpretation improves over time as God's Revelation unfolds in history, yet the Bible has not been proven at fault by any known evidence.

What about Genesis, could that be figurative? Christians pick and choose what parts are literal and figurative. So just as well, God may not have "literally" created the world as depicted in Genesis, except christians will say that WAS literal.

I understand Genesis as a literal account of Creation. I acknowledge that our current level of scientific development seems to contradict it based on the available dating methods and many people, including Christians, explain it away as a metaphor.

How can I ask a blind man to read? How can I ask a def man to listen to me? How can one know what is written about wisdom if there is no light to read it in? Did I give you wisdom in these words? These are questions not wisdom.

The world is flat, the world is round. We evolved from monkeys. How is this wisdom? What have you told me? How can I better myself knowing I came from a monkey? What good will evolution do me if I get cancer? What will evolution do to help me sleep? How will evolution cook me breakfast?

You say that because of evolution I can cook? If evolution was not here I would become instantly stupid and grow hair? Evolution is nothing to me except an idea. So all evolution does for me is make my life complicated trying to figure something out that another man has already proposed. I seek the secret knowledge. It's only secret because it was written, then handed to the blind and illiterate. The great father gives me food to cook, grants me time to sleep and wake up well rested. The good lord will guide me through cancer. This is all for now.

I started a topic called Evolution & Creation: Both are belief systems & I addressed this topic. Science, True Science that is, is observeable, testable, & re-creatable. As I said there, we cannot see the past, we cannot test the past & see if it happened that way & we cannot redo what happened in the past just as I cannot redo what I did 5 seconds ago. Both systems are just beliefs.

Praise God,

I am sorry to have to say GWG that we can see the past. Astronomers look into the past every single day.

We can observe the past to see what the seasons do as sea level rises. We can observe that fossils are made by living creatures by recording what happens to dead creatures during a specific time frame. We can observer what happens after volcano's blow up, and what imprint they leave behind 20 years after they do.

To say we can't peer back more than a billion years in time, is truly blinding ourselves to the truth and facts of science.

Systems of beliefs is not a just. What is at stake here is how we choose to believe. Our beliefs arise from experience, and what we choose to believe during our lifetime helps form our world view. If we choose to believe information based on scientific evidences vs what our Mom or Pop says to believe, we will have a more reliable and accurate view of the world.

My simple point is, always be willing to investigate and test. Always consider the source.

We can sort of see the past and come up with THEORIES based on what we see, but that is all we can do.

I have a saying; when you a have a foot in the past and a foot in the future your urinating all over the present.

I believe that science in and of itself is not evil. It is good and even in the will of God to "fill the earth and subdue it". For that we must know how it works, don
