My servant Isaiah has been going around too sexy for YouTube for three years. (Isaiah 20:3) Paraphrased
This day in July
For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
(Galatians 1:12) ESV
The idea that evidence is neutral and we all have access to it is known as Matty’s Razor. Evidence doesn’t lead to a conclusion, it just is. How we interpret evidence is determined by what we believe. It’s called cognitive bias.

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
(John 6:29) KJV
We’re frequently challenged to prove the existence of God, but there’s two reasons why it’s not necessary to:
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
(John 20:29) KJV
Having proof of God would serve no purpose and, in fact, it would be counter-productive. If you want to choose God and escape the destruction that’s coming, then this is what you need to know: faith is needed, not sight.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
(Romans 1:18-19) ESV
On one hand, the Bible says that the truth about God is known to everyone, no one has an excuse to not believe. On the other hand, God doesn’t have to personally intervene in our lives to prove himself to us.

O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) NKJV
Knowledge and facts are things which ought to be true regardless of what we believe about God or the origin of the universe. Therefore, something which is only true in the popular science paradigm (SciPop) isn’t knowledge.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
(Romans 8:24-25) KJV
You don’t need to have faith in something if you can see it. Faith is only necessary when we can’t see. However, that doesn’t mean that we don’t have evidence. As such, faith is believing in what you can’t see because of evidence.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
(Hebrews 11:1) KJV
Current popular science (SciPop) propaganda is that “faith is belief without evidence.” However we all have the same evidence (Matty’s razor) so the meme fails as a definition of faith.

When he arrived and saw this evidence of God’s blessing, he was filled with joy, and he encouraged the believers to stay true to the Lord.
(Acts 11:23) NLT
One of the best examples of how evidence is used incorrectly in the popular science paradigm (SciPop) is the worldwide distribution of sedimentary deposits and the evidence of Noah’s flood.

When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.
(Proverbs 11:2) NKJV
The intellectual tragedy of our generation is a failure to understand what evidence is and how it’s used, and the resulting misconception about what constitutes knowledge. The theory of knowledge is called epistemology.

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
(Judges 5:20) KJV
Our favorite illustration of how popular science (SciPop) requires faith is Kepler’s 1st Law of Planetary Motion. The law states that planetary orbits are elliptical and that the sun is at one focus of the ellipse.
