Creation Moment 5/26/2021 - "Science Deniers"

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."
