The problem is not usually the evidence, it’s a person’s worldview or presuppositions. You might say we all have the same evidence but can reach different conclusions based on what we believe - our worldview. These scientists are looking at evidence - they are just reaching a conclusion that is based on their naturalistic expectations. It’s hard to examine your own view - but it is possible. Admitting you have one, and thus have a sort of bias pro or con regarding a certain subject is often a start. But usually people are not that honest or maybe perceptive. And some people hate the idea of God and purposely work to oppose that view. Most, but not all scientists hold a naturalistic view of origins. Some believe in a Creator and of course some are not sure. When expected evidence contradicts what scientists actually find then it tends to challenge their worldview. It’s very common for anyone to find a ‘rescuing devise’ which allows them to keep their worldview. Of course, because we’re human, egos can often be on the line regarding who’s smartest, nobody’s fool and all that. In the case of God’s existance and evidence to support or contradict, it it’s easy to see how the battle is, and has been, engaged for all of human history. For me, I’m sticking with a Creator who made it all. When I see the images from the JWST I think of the passage in Psalm 19, “The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows his handy work…” To me it shows his infinite qualities. It’s evidence that backs up his claims. Others see it as a pretty accident and wonder how it all came about. So, now you know my worldview ;- )
I am in agreement with you. Me being one with an apologist mindset, I tend to lean towards an accusatory line in dealing with most secularist scientists, because most refuse to ever take into consideration the possibility of a creator, or even look at the evidence that points to One.
However, I will readily admit that I have ran across more than a few secularists who are more than willing to look at the evidence from a Creationist point of view. I have yet to see them admit a Creator exists, and the closest they come is to say, well I know, but there must be a logical explanation for what I did not understand. Yet, they refuse to ridicule or malign creationist scientists.
It is my prayer that their willingness to consider it will lead them to the truth one day. Like Nicodemus, they are at least willing to listen to the other side. This is the first step in coming to Jesus.
