So we can’t use science to support Scripture, except when we want to use science to support Scripture?

When Jesus used parables, there was usually a comment like this proceeding it.....”Then he told them many things in parables” or “Jesus told them another parable:”, or “He told them still another parable: “ or using the word *like*.

All that is missing from the creation account. The sentences are declarative in nature, simply statements of fact.

Metmom, ignorant people are gullible people. You are ignorant about evolutionary theory, and do no credit to God because you are gullible.

Science is to scripture what math is to fishing. It appears to me that science hurts your pride where your faith is concerned. Your ignorance is willful, and I personally cannot believe that willful ignorance is a Godly thing. For certain sure, I know that ignorance leads to gullibility, such as those so ignorant of basic earth science that they endorse man-caused global warming claptrap. Regardless of their faith, if they were educated, they'd no more buy it than they'd buy that the moon is made of cheese. Faith does not insulate one from the consequences of willful ignorance.

And Metmom, Jesus always privately explained the parables to the disciples. His disciples ask Him why he spoke in parables to the multitudes and He said because it is NOT given for them to receive..... (They can't handle the truth.) Then Christ would explain the parables and we this day have benefit of the parable and the explanation.

Even that parable of the sower Christ privately explained what the parable was about.

Christ also said one cannot serve two masters, which is why the theorists reject the Heavenly Father, even by law out of their houses of worship. Now some will claim Christ but so long as He is kept at the back of the proverbial bus.

Even way back in Jeremiah's time the Heavenly Father knew His children....Jeremiah 4:22 For My people is foolish, they have not known ME; they are sottish (word means stupid) children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

Peter gives another description regarding the children. IIPeter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4And saying, "Where is the promise of His coming:

for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

The Heavenly Father knew full well what some of His children would be doing, Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; that they are without excuse:

21 Because that when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful;

but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, Who is blessed forever. Amen.

Even in the parables Christ was explaining the 'creation' and the purpose of man being placed into a flesh body.

I cannot see why these that are now in complete control are having such a bad day.... their theory is now under governmental control and untouchable, their methodology (science) is the only belief system allowed by law in public education. They won, yet they are still miserable.

Now didn't Jesus have something to say about who would sit in the seat of Moses (the law giver)?
