It's not that anyone is "afraid" of anything. It's that the science classroom is not the place to teach religion. If you find discussions of the religious connotations of origins interesting, that's fine, but the appropriate place for those discussions would be in Sunday school or a religious studies class.
Some Christians feel compelled (coerced is more like it) to compromise and accept evolution as God's method of creation. I could do that if the evidence was truly convincing, but it's not. Evolution is simply assumed, not proven.
Christians have accepted for a long time that the actual earth and universe do not match the Biblical descriptions. If you do not believe that the earth is flat, that the sky is a solid shell on which the sun and all stars are fixed, or that all of space outside the earth and its sky/shell is filled with water, then you also do not literally believe the bible.
As Dr. Morris points out, it's an exercise in circular reasoning: They begin with the assumption that evolution is true, proceed to interpret all of the evidence to fit that model, and then offer it as "proof" for evolution. The assumption of evolution becomes the proof for evolution. That's not science. Dr. Wiersbe calls it "a failure to distinguish information from imagination."
Hmm, I wonder what kind of doctors they are? They probably are not doctors of biochemistry like me; they probably aren't even scientists. Yet there they are, being presented as experts in a subject they clearly know nothing about.
Fossils of strange animals that no one has ever seen have been observed ever since there were humans. The existence of those fossils led to the theory of evolution. The theory of evolution caused more scientific investigation to collect more data that would either refute or support the theory. So far, all data has been supportive.
In the world of real science, you can't just make up some assertion, call it a theory, and expect anyone to believe you. You have to provide evidence. Anyone claiming there is no evidence of evolution is a liar.
There are only two possible explanations for the origin of life——spontaneous generation of matter from nothing or special creation (ex nihilo) by a living God Who exists outside of the space-time dimension.
The first explanation was disproved over one-hundred years ago, leaving evolutionary naturalists to either believe and teach a lie as “science” or to move on to another even more impossible explanation: panspermia. Several theories revolve around this idea, including the notion that extraterrestrials do in fact exist and that they seeded our world with life. C. Arthur Clark posited this idea in his book, “Childhoods End.” More recently Richard Dawkins signaled his acceptance of panspermia.
Always seeking the origin of life but never finding it. This means that no matter how persuasive evolutionary theories sound, ultimately all of them are exercises in futility.
Bill Nye and the scientific Gestapo refuse to allow even a hearing for "intelligent design" in the pubic schools.I'll bet they don't want to waste time in schools debating "Flat Earthism" either.
Real Science can explore the origin of earth and not need to deny the existence of God or insult people of Faith who believe God created the heavens and this earth.
Judge for yourself where it leads.
The evidence for evolution, as revealed by God, is abundant. If you choose not to believe it that is your choice.
But don’t expect people to agree with nor respect that choice.
He's a popular figure, but about as credible as a masked wrestler.
He's demonstrably harmful to all advocates of the scientific method.
There is no final conflict between facts, and Christians and "Sciencismists" are united by a belief that truth exists, though both also believe truth, on the level of natural order, can never be known exhaustively.
As a believer in Christ, as one who believes that Jesus Christ is who he was reliably reported to be, I do not pretend to know how much time passed between the first and second verses of Genesis. Bishop Usher's timeline is not sound doctrine, and it never was.
The distinction between those who believe Truth exists and can be discovered and those who think pursuit of final truth is vain is a much eeper chasm than the popular but false dichotomy separating Creationists and Evolutionists.
Both groups believe in a uniformity of natural causes, though their loudest proponents would be at pains to understand how this separates both groups from the majority of people living in darkness.
Christians believe in a uniformity of natural causes, but they do not believe it to be a closed loop.
That is the only, though very important, distinction between these two touchy groups fighting for state sovereignty.
At the heart of popular evolution is the prior assumption of a uniformity of natural causes as a closed system. That assumption is an article of faith.
That makes it a religion.
Anyone remember the hundreds of millions murdered by these “smart” atheists in the Soviet Union? How about China, Viet Nam, Cuba...?
“Science gestapo” is a good name for them. Is this guy gay? Behind a lot of this smash mouth anti-Christian rage in the name of science, is a fanny longing for the kid next door.
bttt
Hitler was a creationist who believed in fixed kinds. But don’t let facts get in your way, creationists seldom do.
