Oh, so they start from the presupposition that the bible is one hundred percent correct before they write anything, huh? You mean, their approach to science is the complete opposite of the scientific method, which comes in with no preconceptions other than what the facts show, and have rigorous mechanisms in place to weed out biases based on previously held beliefs?
Yeah, such a convincing piece of scientific literature, Rev.
Of the myriad interactions with Stat, rev should proceed along the lines of:
"
No, science has its own preconceptions, presuppositions. That electrons always work in the same way. That photons always travel at the same speed in the same medium. That every single repeatable physical experiment always works the same way.
You cannot explain why it always works in the same way.
I explain it with god. God maintains everything and keeps everything in operation.
Furthermore, in the past, god made things work in a different way, so that what you perceive as billions of years, under your assumption, actually happened in a few thousands, which is in accordance with the biblical text.
So, clearly, science's presuppositions are clearly wrong and you can't rely on science for anything about the past.
"
There you go, rev, I did all your work, now enjoy Esq's (and every one else's) reply.
