Epistemological Abuse

“Everyone must use honest weights and measures:

(Ezekiel 45:10) Good News Version

Hitchens’s razor isn’t a philosophical tenet which regulates the use of evidence, it’s proof of a failure to understand what evidence is and how it’s used. We all have exactly the same evidence. What you believe it’s evidence of is derived from your choice of paradigm. This is Matty’s Razor.

The Stratigraphic Column

For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.”

(Genesis 7:4) NKJV

One of the pillars of the popular science paradigm (SciPop) is the acceptance of sleight-of-hand and smoke-and-mirrors in place of science. Pithy memes have won the day along with false definitions and propaganda.

Answer 3

And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged.

(Genesis 8:1) KJV
  • Why did God flood the world, kill everybody, start over again, yet forget to absolve Noah and his descendants of original sin? And if Noah’s family were cleansed of it, how did humanity get it back?

This question makes it clear that there’s confusion over what original sin is. Original sin is not a conceptual thing that can be removed, it set in motion a course of history which can’t be stopped or changed.

Answer 2

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

(1 John 2:2) NKJV
  • If Jesus blood washed us from our sins, why are we still told that we are born in Original Sin?

Original sin is why mankind is in a fallen state. However, that’s not our fault. We’re born into this system but we’re not going to be held accountable for it. We have our own sin which is why we’re under the judgment of God.

Answer 1

For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God’s gift, so that no one can boast about it.

(Ephesians 2:8-9) Good News Translation
  • As we still have to ask God/Jesus for forgiveness, as we always did, why was a crucifixion necessary?

Under normal circumstances you’d think that answering this question would be simple. Here’s one way to answer it.

A Simple Answer

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

(1 Peter 3:15) KJV

The gospel is simple, and the last thing that we want to do is confuse anyone. If you want to be saved there are only two things that you have to do:

Salvation

  1. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
    • believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
  2. confess your sin.

Mainstream Science Needs Faith

Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call “Knowledge.” For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith.

God’s grace be with you all.

(1 Timothy 6:20-21) Good News Translation

A lot of people are involved in the science vs. faith debate. This is rather ironic since what they refer to as “science” is a sad parody called mainstream science (SciPop) which requires just as much faith as any religion does.
