You know what? God gave me a sharp intellect and vivid curiosity about the universe that He created. Unlike you, I do not feel threatened that the universe about which He made me so curious does not match the details of a lesson about morality written a few thousand years ago.

I do not know how someone can possibly be “indoctrinated” in science. The scientific method is based on getting to the truth, regardless of preconceived ideas and beliefs. Young people interested in science are taught about the experimental evidence that led to certain conclusions, which then led to more experimentation, leading to more conclusions, etc. They are encouraged to examine the evidence for themselves and to reproduce some of the early experiments. I do not know how that equates to “indoctrination.”

As I have said, and will continue to say, it is impossible to conduct any kind of biological research while trying to pretend that the fundamental framework of biology does not exist. The Soviet Union tried that—they arrested and executed scientists who kept insisting that the physical nature of the world cannot be changed for political expediency. They did not succeed in changing biology to align to Soviet principles, but they did succeed in setting back biomedical research for decades—a setback that they are still trying to overcome. Trying to force scientists to conduct research that adheres to Genesis, rather than physical evidence, would be just as fruitless. You simply cannot advance technology in ANY field without a correct understanding of the physical laws underlying it.

So why don’t you believe Him, i.e. what He says on the matter? Ultimately, this is between you and He, and I am merely incidental. Incorporating theories ultimately derived from pagan doctrine is not in God’s honor FWICS, WADR.

Evolution is not fundamental to biology, sorry. People like Pasteur (who believed in creation) are far more important (dare I say infinitely more important) to the development of biology than people such as Darwin.

Nobody is saying anything near what you are saying. We are talking about the political use of science as a tool to manipulate. If your theory was true there is no way junk science could exist yet it is everywhere.

Do you realize they are finding cholesterol may be a good thing for the circulatory system and salt may be necessary and not lead to HBP?

Medical research may be the most corrupted of all.
