ASTs, SISWs and SciPop Devotees

For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
(2 Corinthians 12:10) ESV

Atheist science troll (AST), scientifically illiterate science worshiper (SISW) and SciPop devotee are three kinds of interaction that you can expect if you discuss science and the Bible on social media.

Dream and Coincidence

And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
(Luke 3:3) ESV

We had a dream this morning. In it we saw a beautiful new house. We knew whose house it was, but you don’t need to know that. It sat on the left of a coastal bay which swept around to the right.

A Logical Antidote to Guilt

But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Romans 3:21-23) ESV

Scientific advancement has reached the point where we really can know the answers to some of the questions that people have wondered about for millennia.

Science is the New Ignorance

The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to the place where it rises.
(Ecclesiastes 1:5) ESV

Heliocentric (sun worship) or Geocentrospheric?

IF you were on the Sun you’d be observing heliocentricity,
SINCE you’re not, you’re on the Earth, you’re observing Geocentrosphericity.

The Mainstream Science Creed

Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,
(2 Thessalonians 2:11) ESV

Most religions have a creed, catechisms or a statement of faith. Popular Science (SciPop) is no different. Most of SciPop is theoretical and, since theory is the scientific word for faith, believing in a theory is a leap of faith.

Science vs. Religion?

Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers came in, and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation.
(Daniel 4:7) ESV

A lot of people seem to think, because they’ve been told, that science and religion are opposites. The problem goes back to what people believe that science is, because religion, for the most part, is irrelevant.

Scientific Facts

You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
(Leviticus 19:36) ESV

Popular science (SciPop) is an inductive rationalization of the the premise that the universe has no divine, supernatural cause. Unfortunately the universe has a divine, supernatural cause.

Are we Anti-science? NO

So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.
(Psalms 71:18) ESV

People accuse us of being anti-science. We understand why. On the face of it we’ve evaluated the scientific method, found it wanting, and rejected it. We exposed the logical fallacy of scientific truths.

Truth

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
(John 8:31-32) KJV

Truth isn’t falsifiable so, technically, there’s no hypothesis for it. What if it isn’t testable either? That means it’s unscientific. And yet it’s still the truth. We’re watching a philosophical train wreck in slow-motion.

The Logical Fallacy of Scientific Truths

O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”
(1 Timothy 6:20) ESV

Science is a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences, systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation, any of the branches of natural or physical science.
– Science, definition (Dictionary.com)

The phrase scientific truths is plural, meaning more than one. Truth is absolute, meaning there’s only one. In popular science (SciPop) truths are subjective which means that they can be whatever SciPop wants or needs.
