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.

Avoid Foolish Disputes

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

Science is the Result of Faith

And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.

(2 Peter 3:15-16) ESV

We’re going to pin down a way to refer to two major opposing ideologies. You’ve heard them referred to as science vs. religion, science vs. faith, fact vs. faith for example.
