I'm Not Afraid of Scientific Truth


True science is the friend of the Judeo Christian belief system.  God is not afraid of science, in fact; He created it.  The Bible has never been proved wrong by a fact though it has been slain by many theories both now and in the past.  Theory is a scientific term for an unproved opinion.  It is an exciting tool for the scientific community because it does not require the proof of something they cannot prove, merely an educated guess, a belief.  Science has a multitude of theories and just a few facts.  Many theories have been defeated upon closer examination of the facts and new scientific principles but the Bible has never been defeated by a fact.
The ‘theory’ of Evolution has never been proven, however many scientists still point to successfully disproved ‘missing links’ and other so called facts to give it legitimacy.  True science is against evolution.  Mathematics is against it.  The known facts of the universe are against it and it is still taught in schools as fact because the truth is too hard for biologists and others to accept.  Few scientific leaders are willing to admit the ‘missing links’ are just not proven to be fact; in fact, they will argue to the death that their theories are accurate even when faced with the flaws in their beliefs.  Sadly, not only are they willing to bank their reputations on this lie but the sheer number of scientists willing to back it has confused the legal system enough to convince judges to outlaw creation teaching in schools.  
Science was never supposed to be a religion whose only task was to protect its own beliefs.  In reality, Christianity is far more willing to look into truth because we believe our God when He says, “The truth shall make you free.”  Sadly, we are forced to examine every scientific breakthrough, double checking the scientist’s work to make sure he hasn’t lied or made erroneous assumptions for the sake of his fame and prestige.  Few professional sports teams are as cutthroat and dog-eat-dog as the scientific and educational community.  Unfortunately, scientists seem to lack the professional umpires found in sports and without that third party examination of their theories, are prone to fall short in cleaning up their own dirty laundry.  They call it peer review, which is a fancy way of saying that evolutionists guard evolutionists and physicists guard physicists.  A favored saying in such circumstances is, “Everyone knows it’s true that’s why.”  Everyone in his or her group that is.
When reality occasionally intrudes in their theoretical ideals their answer is to hold a panel of senators or members of congress and argue for the rightness of their opinion.  In this highly unscientific venue they are able to argue for, and if their arguments are convincing, obtain legislative legitimacy of a scientific process that the scientists barely understand and the politicians surely do not.  In this manner you can politicize all types of scientific principles and even diseases and social conditions to the extent that it no matters what is true or false but only what you can sell to the public.  
There is a quote often attributed to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s head of propaganda.  While it is unlikely that he said it, the quote says, “If you tell a big enough lie and repeat it often enough, people will believe it to be true.”  I’m not sure who the first person in history was who discovered this truth and used it effectively but there is one similar in the scripture.  John 8:44 says that Satan is the father of lies and that the truth is not in him.  He is the prince of the power of the air in this present time.  Does that tell you something?  His is the voice that the unsaved will heed and follow.  It’s not easy to serve God but ultimately we will be proven right both in faith and in science.  Christians do not follow God because we are stupid, ignorant or fools; we follow Him because He has proved Himself in our lives time and time again.  Our faith is not a blind and ignorant thing.  Christianity would have never survived without the reality of the experience of a relationship with God.  Everything about serving God in truth is difficult and requires great sacrifice.  We don’t follow God because our faith is easy and requires little of us; we follow Him because it is true and demands all.
There are weak Christians and flawed Christians and seeking Christians and hurting Christians but one thing you need never find and that is a Christian who would kill or lie to protect God.  He needs no such protection and would be mortified by any attempt to lie on His behalf.  Our responsibility is to love unconditionally, walk as Jesus walked and be an ambassador of the King of kings and Lord of lords.  I won’t say Christians never lie or hurt others to protect God, only that to do so is misguided and foolish.  God has no flaws and His Word will prove itself.  He has never asked us to defend Him.  He is not so weak.  His truth shall make US free.
When theories have been proved or rejected and all that remains is truth…therein stands God.
