Sound Reason

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
(Isaiah 28:9-10) KJV

Supposedly science is a state of knowing: knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding. Popular science (SciPop) however, is something very different. It’s not a body of knowledge, it’s an agenda.

Deductive Reasoning

“To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, those taken from the breast? For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.”
(Isaiah 28:9-10) ESV

It’s not a good idea to pull Bible passages out of context because we’ve decided what we want them to mean and then proclaim that we have some new doctrine. That’s inductive reasoning, or eisegesis.

Does God Make You Angry?

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”
(Job 2:9) NKJV

Have you ever been asked this question: If God is a God of love then why does he allow little children to suffer? Some people focus their anger at God on questions like: why do innocent children get sick and die of incurable diseases?

Theory is the Scientific Word for Faith

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
(Hebrews 11:3) NKJV

Theory is the scientific word for faith. That’s going to freak a lot of people out but it’s a conclusion which has been deduced. That means it’s a logically certain conclusion.

Gravitation Inside a Uniform Hollow Sphere

Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, shining like awe-inspiring crystal, spread out above their heads.
(Ezekiel 1:22) Good News Translation

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) have an example of scientific sleight-of-hand. Scientists who understand it think that it’s a simple rationalization of a phenomenon. The problem is that the phenomenon doesn’t exist.

Life is Derived From Water

Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.
(Matthew 14:25-26) NKJV

Pastors and preachers talk about how Peter started walking on water but when he took his eyes off Jesus he began to sink. We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) want to make this passage about Jesus, not Peter.

Relationship of Cause and Effect

Hydroxyl (OH-) and Hydrogen (H+) form an unstable plasma called water.

For as the churning of milk produces butter, And wringing the nose produces blood, So the forcing of wrath produces strife.
(Proverbs 30:33) NKJV

Reasoning, or logic, can follow a pattern like this: IF > THEN > THEREFORE. Or IF > AND > THEN. This establishes the correct relationship between cause and effect.

Atheism’s Actuality

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
(Matthew 23:13) NKJV

Atheism’s actuality: in order to make the argument that God lies in the Bible, facultative authority has to be imputed to the Bible, and the accuser has become a hypocrite.

Atheism’s Argument

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
(Titus 3:9) KJV

Atheism’s argument: the Bible is full of contradictions. This isn’t a logical fallacy, it’s propaganda. When pressed to provide the supposed contradictions it’s found that they can all be resolved.

Atheism’s Accusation

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
(Zechariah 3:1) NASB

Atheism’s accusation: God lies. It’s ironic, and the first logical fallacy. The only way for God to lie is if the Bible is authoritative. The atheist point of view is that the Bible is fiction, a lie, so how can there be contradictions?
