Who do not Believe

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

What you believe is a choice. The way that this works in the case of our YouTuber is that he’s made a choice of paradigm. He believes in popular science (SciPop), which, among other things, is a set of axioms which you have to accept in order for the paradigm to be true.

Profane, Idle False Knowledge

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

Something which is false knowledge, say mainstream science (SciPop), would otherwise be called a lie. Lying is part of a list of behaviors which are a syndrome which includes swearing.

The Hawking Effect

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

One of our favorite books is “A Brief History of Time,” by Stephen Hawking. In this and his other books Hawking expands use of the scientific method as an inductive tool. He opened up the realm of plausibility. In so doing he redefined the term “scientific knowledge.”

Radiometric Dating is Pseudoscience

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.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) KJV

Radiometric dating is an example of inductive reductive circular reasoning. It requires the assumption that nuclear decay rates are constant and an unwarranted application of the half-life rate law to nuclear decay.

Nuclear decay rates,
the half-life rate law.

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.

Twitter

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
(2 Timothy 2:16) KJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have affectionately called the broad class of people on Twitter who graciously take the time to tell us that we’re stupid atheist science trolls (ASTs) or scientifically illiterate science worshipers (SISWs).

Science Terms of Use

End User Licensing Agreement (EULA)

O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you.
(1 Timothy 6:20-21) ESV

The THEORETICAL FOUNDATION of MODERN SCIENCE, also known as POPULAR SCIENCE, the POPULAR SCIENCE PARADIGM, the DOMINANT PARADIGM, the DOMINANT PARADIGM of MODERN SCIENCE, or DPMS, hereafter referred to as “SCIPOP,” is a belief system (paradigm) used to interpret data and evidence in such a way as to make it appear to conform to a theoretical narrative of godless existence.

Gravity is a Field Emitted from the Center of the Earth

Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
(Psalms 102:25) NKJV

As odd as this may sound the Bible contains an extensively developed doctrine of gravity. It includes the nature of the soul, a core accretion model of planet formation and the plan of redemption.

Archaeopteris

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

We’re critical of the philosophical construction of the scientific method because it’s been meticulously crafted to exclude any possibility that the truth can be either an acceptable premise, or a possible conclusion.

Mainstream Science is a Paradigm

Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility, youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king’s palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.
(Daniel 1:3-4) ESV

When people hear the word “science” what they think it refers to turns out to be a combination of two things: 1) truth, and 2) error. What’s truth and what’s error? How can we know for sure?
