I’m amazed at the arrogance of some scientists who actually are convinced that they can understand the Universe! I don’t, and they certainly don’t!

I honestly can't tell--is this satire?

NO scientist says that they understand the universe. It is you that is the arrogant one.

It's not arrogance. Believe it or not, there are people who actually understand things that you don't.

Ask me how to render 10,000 gallons of cyanide-filled water harmless. Ask me how to determine the amount of energy transferred between two liquids in a heat exchanger. Ask me how to set up virtual folders using C##.

That's not an insult. I'm positive that you are very competent in areas where I'm a complete dope. I have no idea how to rope a calf, weld a beam, or do accounting. I'm totally ignorant in those and many other things, but I do know that other people understand them.

The point is that though there are a lot of things that scientists do not understand, but there are a lot of things that scientists understand very well. The age of the earth and the age of the universe are two of those things. All of the evidence points to an earth that is about 4.5 billion years old and a universe that is 14 to 15 billion years old. All of it.

And there's nothing about an old earth that contradicts the Bible. Do a word study on the Hebrew word yom and the various meanings that it has in Genesis. Then ask yourself why Young-Earth Creationists insist on only one meaning for the first two chapters. They are pushing a man-made doctrine.

Please don't be sucked in by these Young-Earth Creationists. They truly hurt the cause of Christ.

“I’m amazed at the arrogance of some scientists who actually are convinced that they can understand the Universe! I don’t, and they certainly don’t!”

Another “I don’t understand science, so let’s look in the Bible” thread.....
