I beg your pardon on that last line, replete with scare quotes? Can you elucidate what the “excuse” is? He believes in full miracle creations. He also believes in observational science, and Romans 1:20 offers an excellent reason not to just wave it away lightly. I think he has wrestled with the day-age theory about as well as it can be wrestled with. I do not think he has considered conjoined universes, though in a presentation he gave which I attended, he came tantalizingly near affirming the reality that would be needed to support that. We see three dimensions and time in our mortal coil. Who says God has nothing more to weave reality from? I sure don’t.
When did “observational science” really start?
500 BC ? give or take ?
I certainly believe in and trust observational science. It has rules and protocols.
Historical science is open to interpretation and the rules of modern science, established by Popper, can’t, by definition, apply.
