The Triumph of the Bible over Science.
Thomas S.
Kuhn wrote a history on The
Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Kuhn showed that
scientists cannot do science without a set of beliefs that form the
foundation of their education.
Activity that conforms to the scientific faith is "a strenuous and
devoted attempt to force nature
into the conceptual boxes supplied by professional education,"
According to Kuhn, "normal
science often suppresses fundamental novelties because they are
necessarily subversive of its
basic commitments."
How could highly educated freethinkers be bound by old traditions? The Bible
warns
that one may be taken captive (sulagogeo) by philosophy and the
elementary ideas
(stoicheion) of the world (the
orderly system - Greek kosmos). Western science was built on the
elementary ideas of a pagan
Greek philosopher. The Greeks struggled for centuries trying to find a
fundamental assumption
that could support a natural science. Fifteen hundred years later, the
Catholic scholastics chose
Aristotle's metaphysics as the fundamental basis of Western science.
The Bible
predicts that in the last days false teachers will come
saying "panta outos diamenei - all
things remain the same in being." Modern scientists demonstrate the
accuracy of Biblical
prophecy, since they always accept Aristotle's assumption that the
properties of matter are not
emergent. Scientists are trained to think, measure and mathematicate
with their assumption that
matter does not change itself, change relationally as it ages.
The scientific creed has an enormous effect on scientific
earth-histories. For example, scientists
might
observe the light from a distant galaxy that clocks 1/10th the
frequencies from local atoms. They work diligently on the precision of
their measurements and their mathematical logic. Yet
their speculation that seconds have equal durations is not questioned.
Linear time is based on the
idea that clocks are made of immutable matter. If matter were naturally
changing its properties,
orbits, rotations, clocks and instruments would change together. Such
changes cannot be
measured locally since they would affect even the measuring units and
the formulas. Since the
visible evidence contradicts their creed, scientists fill the universe
up with undetectable matter
and speculative, vacuous forces that allegedly negate the visible
evidence that all
matter changes as it ages.
The scientific universe is 99% invisible - to protect their blind creed.
Biblical physics does not force one to adjust the whole universe and
its history to fit a complex
structure built on a protected dogma. Biblical physics uses no complex
mathematics or
symbolical ways of measuring. The Bible
states that the creation is in bondage to phthora,
fundamental change. This is precisely what is visible, not with
mathematical symbols, but with
ancient light in every part of the spectrum. Biblical physics allows
one to
believe the visible history of
the universe. The visible history of the universe fits the Hebrew verbs
and descriptive nouns in
the Bible. Visible galactic histories, in billions of galaxies, are
doing what the Bible
says God is
doing - continually spreading out the heavens
and the Earth (expanding
the size of the Earth).
We see how primordial galaxies were naked, packed with stars. At many
ranges we observe how
distinct, equally spaced clumps of stars came out, rotated out, spread
out, accelerated out as
billions of galaxies grew into local, growth spirals. It is impossible
for billions of galaxies to
grow in defiance of every law of science - unless matter always changes
its properties
relationally. We also see on the surface of our own Earth, a global
expansion
seam surrounded by new crust that shows that the primordial earth was a
minuscule globe. Of
course this visible evidence is a violation of the scientific creed, so
it is not unexpected that
scientists invent an undetectable subduction. How could they believe
that oceanic oozes and
seafloor could push its way into the high pressure cauldron of the
earth's interior without a trace
of visible evidence? The undisturbed, soft layered sediments in the
ocean trenches clearly shows
that subduction is another scientific myth.
Since the universe visibly follows biblical physics, will this result
in another Kuhnian revolution?
NO! Biblical physics will certainly triumph over science. God will make
foolish (Greek - moros)
the wisdom of the world, as He promised. How will this victory happen?
The Bible
predicts that
when our obedience is complete, we will bring down the great fortresses
of speculation raised up
against the knowledge of Him. The weapon He prescribes for this
victory is not our own version of
science. It is the invincible
Word of God.
It is impossible to build a replacement science when the scientific
dogma fails. As Solomon
wrote long ago, man cannot find out the work done under the Sun, even
though he labor day and
night and claims to know, he cannot discover.
How utterly and completely the simple words of God will vanquish
science, the system of
reasoning built on the assumption of a pagan Greek - the very idea the
Bible predicted for the last
day false teachers. Is your obedience complete? The Bible
commands us not to be wise in this
age - that will result in self deception. Why? God is taking the wise
of this age with their own
skills and wisdom. The great triumph of the Word of God over science is
not far off. After all,
scientists are commissioning new telescopes for photographing the
creation of galaxies in the
long ago heavens. What we have seen so far is a literal, biblical
cosmic history.
