Science Falsely So Called

1 Timothy 6:20-21

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. {The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.

Science is a belief system that is so ingrained in the people of our time that they mistakenly believe that they don’t believe it, it just is.

Adders, Asps, Dragons, Serpents & Vipers

Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

(Deuteronomy 32:33)KJV

We have a closed loop which shows us that a variety of words refer to the same idea: Serpents are a suborder in the Class of Reptiles, and there are different kinds of Serpent.

From the Water to the Air

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

(Psalms 74:13) KJV

The first fliers are intended to fly with periods of roosting. They needed well-developed wings and feet but not arms. Logically the first aerial dragon had two legs but no arms. It was a Wyvern.

Synapomorphy or Sinapomorphy?

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

(Romans 5:12) KJV

Given that synapomorphies only occur after the process of evolution has started, and evolution is a consequence of sin, it’s appropriate to change the spelling of synapomorphy to sinapomorphy.

Leviathan

In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

(Isaiah 27:1) KJV

If we have two types of dragon which are both serpents, clearly identified physical traits, and one has a syndrome of characteristics which occurs in several groups, then we have the beginning of a hierarchical taxonomy.

Job 13

Pray for Uber riders

Part 2 of Job’s response to Zophar.

We should be checking the things that we are taught by pastors and preachers:

  • Acts 17:10-11
    And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Why do bad things happen to good people? The best reason I have found:

  • Isaiah 57:1
    The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

Jeremiah echoes Job’s lament:

  • Jeremiah 12:1-3
    Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
    Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
    But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

No one determines his or her outcome.

  • Jeremiah 17:11
    As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

Dragon Taxonomy

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

(John 8:31-32) KJV

Rejoice in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and be set free. Let down your heavy burden and rest. Let’s worship the Lord, celebrate the beauty of His creation, and study dragons!

Evolution Debunk: the Reptile-Mammal Transition

Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

(Jeremiah 9:12) KJV

Matty’s Paradigm incorporates both macro- and micro-evolution, but they aren’t an entropy defying source of new complexity and diversity. Our genomes are decaying, and we call the process devolution.

Bats are Birds?

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; Every raven after his kind; And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

(Leviticus 11:13-19) KJV

People have found many ingenious reasons to reject the truth of the Bible. There are also some which aren’t ingenious, not by a long shot.

Every Moving Creature has a Soul

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

(Genesis 1:20) KJV

When the Bible refers to living creatures that have life, it’s referring to a sentient being which has a spirit and a soul. It’s not equivalent to the biological definition of life.
