Bible Reading: I Timothy 6:12-21
Key Verse: Verse 20 - “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Key Words: science falsely so called
The word science in the Greek means knowledge. Paul warns Timothy that there is a false science (knowledge). In today's world we call that evolution, which is not a science but a false teaching, a false doctrine.
Note what some of the great scholars of the past have said in regard to creation.
Ultimately the Darwinian theory of evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the twentieth century. -Michael Denton, molecular biologist and medical doctor.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that evolutionism is not even a good scientific theory. -Dr. Willem J. Ouweneel, Research Associate in Developmental Genetics, Ultrech, Netherlands.
What I have learned in the past ten years of review of recent scientific knowledge of cellular morphology and physiology, the code of life (DNA), and the lack of supporting evidence for evolution in the light of recent scientific evidence is a shocking rebuttal to the theory of evolution. -Dr. Isaac Manly of Harvard Medical School.
The human fossil record is strongly supportive of the concept of Special Creation. On the other hand, the fossil evidence is so contrary to human evolution as to effectively falsify the idea that humans evolved. -Professor Marvin L. Lubenow, in his book Bones of Contention.
For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries. -Robert Jastrow, Ph.D. Chief of the Theoretical Division of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (1958-61) and Founder/Director of NASA's Goddard Institute; Professor of Geophysics at Columbia University; Professor of Space Studies-Earth Sciences at Dartmouth College, in his book God and the Astronomers..
Can all of life be fit into Darwin's theory of evolution?. . . If you search the scientific literature on evolution, and if you focus your search on the question of how molecular machines - the basis of life-developed, you find an eerie and complete silence. The complexity of life's foundation has paralyzed science's attempt to account for it. . . I do not think [Darwin's mechanism] explains molecular life. -Michael Behe, Associate Professor of Biochemistry at Lehigh University.
Some food for thought!!
What to do:
✞ We certainly need not believe evolution. We don’t even need the support of scientists. All we need is God’s Word to believe in God’s creation.
