Then and Now
What science is and what it was are very different. What started out as a study of God’s world and a attempt to understand its beauty and complexity was turned into a system bent on pushing all mention of God aside and instead raising nature itself to the position of the creator of all. The study of nature was turned on its head and so was logic and common sense. All the fantastic engineering accomplishments that are declared in living things and the structure on the universe are ignored and great effort is made to invent a mythology of a self-created universe and all that’s in it.
We like to use the expression, ‘blown away’ to describe something that we can’t ‘wrap our head around’. The revelations coming out of science speak of a greatness that is way beyond the picture we like to paint of our Creator. So, do we acknowledge this error and accept that this Creator is far bigger and more powerful and awesome than previously imagined? Or do we make excuses for ignorance and expand on it? Science is now bent on the latter.
To make this seem sensible the timeline had to be expanded ad absurd-um. We are expected to believe that things like limestone can survive for billions of years with microscopic creatures impressions still intact. But, that timeline doesn’t solve the problems that permeate the modern ideology about nature. Soft tissues aren’t stable enough to survive tens of millions of years intact. Fish thought to have gone extinct millions of years ago shouldn’t be swimming our seas today. But, if you accept a young universe, you lose touch with the modern thesis. There is an answer to all of this fabulous universe existing. The Creator left us an accurate record.
