Re: Religion and Science incompatible
The difference between science and faith based religion is that science will abandon a position if a new theory does a better job than the previous.
​
Science would not abandon a position based on a known fact.
​
There is lots and lots of room for creative thinking about HOW the Flood happened, how evolutionist explanations are wrong, how the geo column was formed, how genetics works really, etc etc. etc.
​
Enemies of biblical Christianity assert that the biblical account borrowed from the Gilgamesh epic. Followers of Christ cannot agree. So in line with the Apostle Paul’s teaching in 2 Corinthians 10:5, it’s important to demolish this liberal theory.
​
Their reading (twisted interpretation?) of the word clearly shows that objective evidence takes a second seat to accepted prevailing beliefs. A good example of how faith and science are incompatible.
​
Paul's statements ARE objective fact. The Biblical accounts ARE objective statements of fact. This is what you don't get. You guys just compartmentalize your facts and judge from sheer prejudice.

Re: Religion and Science incompatible
I said a KNOWN fact, jar. I MEANT a KNOWN fact. I meant an absolutely incontrovertible fact. And my statement is true.

A scientist starts with some sort of premise or idea to prove or disprove.
​
A creationist starts with a premise from the Bible. I think they can objectively view the evidence, but will reject that which contradicts the foundation of their faith...
​
Yes. and yes to much of the rest of your argument here too.

Re: Religion and Science incompatible
On earth, what goes up must come down -- within the atmospheric range of course.
