Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding...
1 Chronicles 22:12
"Science itself is filled with science deniers.
Let’s go back to the
science regarding life’s origins.
--Not long after scientists proposed
that life arose in a shallow pool, some denied the science, claiming
that life arose in deep thermal vents instead.
--Others, denying that
science, theorized that life arose in clay; --others denying that science,
proposed that life originated in molten rock.
--And some, denying the
science behind all those theories, argued that life first came from
outer space, perhaps hitching a ride on comets from another solar
system.
The problem isn’t science denial but the
science you deny.
The science I deny is the science that theorizes, for
example, that the grapefruit—its color, texture, nutrients, skin, and
seeds (each one containing a potentially infinite number of grapefruit
trees)—arose without forethought or planning or the clear intention to
give us something tasty and healthful to eat. I don’t care how many
peer-reviewed scientific papers in prestigious scientific journals,
citing other peer-reviewed papers in other prestigious scientific
journals, claim that the grapefruit (or any other fruit, vegetable, or
herb, for that matter) arose without any design or forethought or
planning but by random mutation and natural selection. I deny the
science. If that makes me a science denier, fine—I’m a science denier.
But those who label me as a science denier are too."
