Scientific Method Uncovers Facts that Support Creation, NOT Evolution

How can we know anything about anything

To try to explain truth to him who loves it not is but to give him more plentiful material for misinterpretation. George Macdonald

Do we have to make a choice between science and the Bible?

NO!

That is NOT where the problem is, but that is what everyone seems to want to talk about.

Take science as an example. How can we know anything about the created material world around us?

How can we know anything from what we can see using natural sciences?

We all see the same things in the material world, but we don't come to the same answers.

Why is that?

How can we know anything about the Bible and what it teaches? Every person believes different things about the Bible and how it should be read.

Why is that?

Same scientific facts. Different answers.

Same Bible. Different answers.

Why is that?

The true question is this: How do we come to our answers that we get from what we can see through science or what we can read in the Bible?

How do we think about what we see using science or what we read in the Bible?

How do we analyze what we have seen and read?

How do we interpret what we have seen and read?

We use logic, but logic always has a foundation. Jesus talked about building on the Rock. That Rock is Jesus Christ. He is the true foundation. There are also the false foundations of the ungodly.

An example might help.

Question: Why do you believe in evolution?

Answer: Because my science teacher told me that evolution is scientific fact.

Question: Why do you believe your science teacher?

Answer: because he agrees with the textbook he assigned us to read.

Now, we have asked, "Why?" twice.

If we continued to ask, "Why?" we would come down to the foundation of this person's thoughts.

When we get down to the foundations, there are no more questions that can be answered. So where to the foundations come from?

There are three possibilities.

things that we make up, pulled from the air
demonic lies
divine revelation

Question: Why do you believe in creation?

Answer: Because God revealed this to me. He spoke to me through the Bible and gave me His faith so that I could believe Him.

See how quickly we got to the foundation. This is a belief that has a foundation that is solid and that cannot be moved.

In reality, the things that we make up, that are pulled from the air, are actually from demons and all the lies of demons spring from the prince of demons, Satan. So these are one and the same.

Divine revelation comes from the Almighty, Creator, God, Jesus Christ. So there are only two choices, but how do we know there are only two choices? Because God has revealed this truth to us.

The question then is how do we tell the difference between the revelation that comes from God and the lies of Satan?

The answer is that everyone who sincerely wants to do the will of God will know.

Jesus said, "If you really want to obey God, you will know if what I teach comes from God or from me"

The rejection of the revelation that comes from God is not an intellectual problem. It is a moral problem.

Jesus said, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you: For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it shall be opened." *

Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to those who ask him? Matthew 7:7-11 *

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. You can set the truth before someone, but you can't make anyone believe those things that they don't want to submit to. They have to want to obey God.

How frequently it is brought to our attention that nothing good can be done if the will is wrong! Reason alone fails to justify itself. Richard M. Weaver

Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:32)

"If we are not prepared to buy the truth at the cost of our own humbling we shall not receive it"

Lies appear to have no price upon them. They seem cheap and they abound everywhere. But for the truth there is always an obvious price to pay.

"[God] has set a day when He will judge all the world's people with fairness. And He has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for Him. God has given proof of this to all of us by raising Jesus from death" (Acts 17:31).

"There is a judge for the one who rejects Me [Jesus] and does not accept My words; that very word which I spoke will condemn him at the last day" (John 12:48)

That also stands for every person who speaks the utterances of Jesus. When we hear them, we hear Jesus Christ, and we either accept or reject. Every person who follows Jesus Christ is commanded to only speak His utterances and not their own.

"When we love others, we know that we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God" (1 John 3:19)

Ravi Zacharias did two open forums in a university. On the second night, one man told him that he had brought two Atheists in the night before who said that the arguments presented were so strong that they could not contend with them, but they were going to remain Atheists because that is what they prefer to be true.

In another case of just listening to an unbeliever and drawing out his reasoning, the unbeliever finally came to his foundations.

They turned out to be assumptions that were pulled from the air. When asked why he believed his basic assumption, the unbeliever looked startled and blurted out, "I guess I'm making the whole thing up." It was quite a revelation to him since he hadn't even known that he had any assumptions. However, he decided to remain an Atheist because he didn't want God to rule over him.

Life has a very long history. It's unfortunate that the scientific method has no way to estimate the age of things without using circular reasoning. We can only look at things in the present and make assumptions about the past. If we change the assumptions, we change the estimate of the age of things. When anyone states that a fossil (one that that is older than themselves) is a certain number of years old, that statement is either based on speculation or revelation. Every objection to a 6,000-year-old Earth has been answered by a viable scientific explanation; however, science cannot prove anything. Those who believe in billions of years are not so fortunate. The billions of years hypothesis has many disconnects with what can be observed; however, science cannot disprove anything either. Science is a great tool but it is not magic.

One thing is sure, though. Living things change over time. However, there is no known mechanism that could create information, organization, and the types of upward progress over time that Darwin's hypothesis claimed. Several known scientific laws show that, to the extent that we can know anything, information is not added but lost, order is not created but destroyed, and progressive Evolutionary processes do not occur but destructive degeneration occurs.

The fossils show distinct kinds of animals with a great deal of variation within the kinds but no evidence of one kind of animal becoming another kind of animal. For instance, there are many kinds of dogs, but no evidence that dogs have ever been anything else other than dogs.

When we look at the fossils, we don't see Darwin's Tree of Life. However, we do see a forest of Trees of Life. We see a dog tree, a cat tree, an elephant tree, and one tree for every kind of living thing.

The fossils are buried in sediments and would have had to have been buried quickly. What we can easily observe is that it appears that most of the fossils were buried in a global flood like the one mentioned in the Bible. We see clams and sea creatures at the tops of the mountains. We see evidence of violent and rapid water movement across continents.

The idea that microscopic creatures evolved into higher level creatures and finally into man--this concept is scientifically impossible with what we currently know using science. It is only popular because of wide-spread ignorance at the highest levels. The idea that life could be generated spontaneously from non-life is equally unscientific. The idea that matter could generate from nothing or that matter in the universe is infinitely old is equally unscientific. The Big Bang Theory also has the same sorts of problems. Interestingly, the historical account of how everything came to exist has no conflict with what we can observe using scientific method. That is, the things that the Bible says about how the universe was created and how the animals, man, and woman were created, along with the historical account of the great global flood, these events of the past are all in line with what we can observe in the present. There is evidence all over the place.
