Posted on another thread and seemingly useful here:

The fact is scientific thinking has had more success explaining things than theology.

Yep, and it's resposnible for killing George Washington with it's success - bleeding him to cure his disease.. The proud always gloat in the hopes that no one paid attention to their ills. Evolutionists have done two things - stood on the shoulders of those who "proved" science while at the same time shouting that scientific theory cannot be proven. Who proved the theory of flight? Hint, it was a pair of brothers at Kittyhawk. We're supposed to carve such trivialities from our minds in order to bolster the concept that Evolutionists should be required to prove their drivol. Evolution isn't gravity. Evolution is a religion pretending at science and attempting to hide behind lame disclaimers that they are under no obligation to prove themselves.. you are just obliged to believe them. Where else but in a cult does one expect to hear such notions. Where else but from charlatans has one heard such sales pitches.

Polystrait fossils were argued by christians to be evidence of flooding for a long time. The damage presented by the 1980s eruption of Mt. St. Helens proved to science what Christians had been saying all along. St. Helens at once explained coal formation, rapid sedimentation, rapid carving of canyons, etc. One relatively small scale natural disaster destroyed many evolutionist fairytales about "millions of years". It isn't the notion that non-science is overtaking science that bothers them. It's that the truth is overtaking propaganda and evolution is quickly approaching it's demise as mock science and is headed for the ash-heap of history. It cannot withstand many more Mout St. Helens like events which expose the lack of candidness or truthfulness on behalf of the evolution crowd. Truth matters. Proof matters. We are, afterall, discussing what is supposed to be observeable. And life and it's properties are observeable lest we be treated to some thesis on how superstrings are not directly observeable.

As regards superstrings, gravity and other phenomina, we have to interject a bit of common sense when discussing these things. They are not terms which lept to life out of the ether. They are terms applied to things science observed and couldn't understand. Evolution, contrarwise, is something Science has theorized and never seen. It didn't arise out of an observation that couldn't be explained, it arose as a theoretical possibility that they have been chasing proofs for since.. to no avail. What's more, Evolution is not a single theory. It is a set of theories that are discarded and replaced under the umbrella of a religious idea. The idea never dies, it just invents new theories when the old ones are disproven. And, yes, lest we allow them to get away with saying science isn't about proof, we must note that they disprove their own ideas and discard them, then noting the damage done, replace the old set of theories with new ones - thusly remaining a constantly moving target. Observations like those surrounding the investigations after Mt. St. Helens have served to pin them down bits at a time. The more this happens, the more nervous their side gets. Like it or not, that is the nature of things being attempted to be hidden from truthful and candid conversation in the public. The danger on the horizon is what to do when the faithful no longer have this theory to believe in and science has to answer for the long fraud... Screaching and gnashing of teeth aren't quite apt impressions; but, are close. Think of liberals losing power and you'll be pretty close. We have examples of that sideshow daily.

I'm hoping to catch them ripping their tunics and throwing dust up in the air. That'll be quite a sight.

That whole post is simply rambling verbiage accompanting claims that science is severely flawed. The scientific method is how folks learn. Observation and rational thought are the natural tools used to do that. Honesty is the virtue that regulates science.

No one is born with the body of knowledge and understanding that was created by and is science. None of this came from the Bible. None of it came as revelation from God. It was gained through the hard work and efforts of honest men. Yes honest, because I can pick up any science book, regardless of topic, and it's essentially all true. That bothers some people.

It bothers them, because they have to pick and choose which facts they choose to believe and which need to be rejected to maintain the status of what they hold, to be "true". Essentially they are comparing the text of parable against scientific theory and attempting to insert their God as a physical force into the science books. It's not bad enough that they can't deal with parables well, they can't even get what God said in plain English right. That's why they failed to distinguish between what God said and what man said.

The body of knowledge and understanding that is science is the fruit of man's efforts according to God's statement in Gen 3:19
"By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return."

God also said in Matt 12:38-39,
"Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you."
He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

The sign of Jonah is the Holy Spirit. No other sign will be given. There is nothing in science that will point to God. His draw is the things of the Holy Spirit, nothing else.

The Holy Spirit doesn't move folks to butt into science classes.
