Given what we know now do you honestly think that any of those men would subscribe to the 9000 figure if they lived today?
“Given what we know now do you honestly think that any of those men would subscribe to the 9000 figure if they lived today? “
Do you honestly believe that they’d chuck their belief that the Bible is true for the sake of political correctness?
I don’t pretend to know, either way. But I hope their belief in God’s word was sincere.
I mentioned famous scientists from history. Plenty of current scientists are six day creationists, too. My son has a BS in Physics (UCLA) and works in Bioinformatix science, developing delivery systems for state of the art drugs. He’s a believer in six day; and he is a sought after and recruited employee. My church elder has a BS in Chemistry (UC Berkeley) and a six day creationist. I am sure his work in chemistry is quite adequate. Another church elder is a Podiatrist, with his MD from UCLA - six day.
All around you, at all sorts of various levels of scientific endeavor, are men and women who hold to six day creation and do excellent scientific work. The two are not mutually exclusive. Creation is confessed as a miraculous act of God, not as scientific law. As a matter of fact one definition of a miracle is that it defies known scientific law.
Can we believe in the resurrection and be good scientists, from your point of view? Can we believe that water was turned into wine, the blind made to see, the crippled to walk - spontaneously, with no medical intervention?
Or are Bible believing Christians forbidden from science now?
