Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Job 38:3
"The definition of science is being changed in a way that will no longer permit the rather obvious conclusion that God created living things.
The term "science" once meant "knowledge discovered by experimentation, observation and objective investigation."
We were taught that science was to be observable, testable, and repeatable.
When one scientist did an experiment, others could repeat his experiment, and obtain the same results. If no one who repeated the experiment came up with the same results, those results had been "falsified," that is, shown not to be true.
This definition of science has served us very well, but for those who teach that life formed spontaneously with no Creator involved, it has become a problem.
They want to teach their philosophy as science, but the idea that a first cell came together spontaneously from chemicals without a Creator is an opinion about ancient history. It is not observable, testable, or repeatable, so it does not fall under the usual definition of science."
