Well, Sir, if you choose to be offensive, here is my matching reply: it’s a pity that you can’t preach your Young Earth Cretinism 100 years ago, to people dying of conditions we now routinely cure.
You know, we keep getting told that science isn’t about truth, but finding the best explanation to fit the data.
I can live with that.
We’re also told that science adjusts theories, etc as new data comes in.
Fine.....
What I don’t understand then, is how someone can then use something that is by nature not certain and is so readily subject to revision as a standard to which compare and pass judgment other things with.
Evos are constantly telling creationists that they are wrong about what Scripture says about the beginning, based on what?
Truth? No, because we’ve already been told that science isn’t about truth. And besides, even if it is the search for truth, it hasn’t arrived.
Everything that science has changed it’s position on in the past was wrong. You don’t change something that is right because then you’d be making it wrong.
And at this point, how can we be sure that THIS time science got it right when it hasn’t yet in the past?
So how can you compare the Bible to something with a track record of inaccuracy that science has?
Why twist and adjust Scripture to fit that which is not true or certain to begin with?
I know that I’ll get shredded for this again, as I have in the past, but I love science and investigating and learning about the world around us.
I love the application of the practical knowledge that we have learned in the form of technology to make our lives more comfortable and enjoyable.
But really, science is a wonderful tool and a great means to an end, but it should not be the end in and of itself.
