What are you saying? Men should not look around them and use their minds to figure things out? If that is what you are talking about then get rid of all modern technology. I like what science discovers. And men are supposed to explore the universe that God created, I think He likes that.

Monkeys and typewriters! Jehu types something sensible! It had to happen in the end. ;)

He wants us to discover His wonders, both spiritual and physical. And Christian scientists must ultimately debunk psuedo-scientific myths such as ToE. It is throttling the life sciences and causes much harm to all humanity, especially when this crazed biological theory is applied to social issues.

No scientist should be filtering the data through the prism of their christianity as you would have them do. That really does produce the "junk science" you are so fond of banging on about. You have to look at the data and see where it takes you. In this context there should be no such thing as a Christian scientist unless you want scientists to "lie for christ". There should just be scientists who happen to be Christians (many of whom support ToE, as it happens)

Every human being filters through his bias. The problem with evolutionists and a related species...(possibly from alleles) liberal journalists. They alone in all humanity figure they are pristine, holy, pure, sole possessors of objective truth. All other ideas must be measured from THEIR objective standards.

Yet they somehow fail to recognize that scientists hold to their theories even in error, until overwhelmed with contrary evidence. Do you know what was the prevailing theory before plate tectonics? Do you know what scientists did to the first that were pointing to continental drift?

That germ theory was welcomed with open arms. Not to mention quantum theory. Or dozens of scientific theories that were debunked, sometimes men destroyed, emotionally, financially, for going contrary to you pristine, holy defenders of truth.

How about Einstein? (not sure but probably smarter than you by about 40 I.Q points). Who fudged his relativity equations to get rid of the pesky evidence that the universe was expanding.

Cause all the "best scientists" knew that the universe was in a steady state. But he sees the redshift through Hubble's telescope himself, and unlike dishonest evolutionists, Einstein had the integrity to admit, "this was my greatest mistake" to wit, not believing what his equations told him right to his face.

I have enough confidence in God, truth, and objective science that they are in harmony. It will be Christian scientists, and at least non evolutionary scientists that will, and are debunking the evolutionary dead end.
