Science

What is science?

When someone says you throw out science if you do not believe in evolution what do they mean?

When the first one is used it is meant to mean observational science. That is repeatable science that you can observe. Things like if I let go of my pen it falls to the floor, I can repeat this over and over again and get the same result so you can expect the same result.

The second one is philosophical or historical "science". That is to say I see x therefore y happened. An example of this would be I see a broken egg on the floor so it must have fallen from the counter. Do you know for sure it fell from the counter, no. Maybe the kids where throwing eggs and dropped one, maybe many other things happened.

The point is that the science used by evolution and creation opponent, is applying what we see today and believe today to what we "THINK" happened in the past. We can not know for sure what happened in the past but we can guess based on what our belief is.

Those who believe in the Bible believe God has told us what happened, the Bible as History. So we have the testimony of someone who was there. 6 days approximately 6000 years ago.

Those who reject the Bible believe in LONG periods of time to "evolve" what we see today. And they still can not explain it so it makes scenes.

Many good "Scientist" believe in Creation!

A good list would be at answers in genesis (http://www.answersingenesis.org) the scientist list http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/bios/

Yes you can be a scientist and believe in Creation.
