Interesting observation.
Linnaeus originally gave the pomegranate the scientific name of Punica malus
malus in latin = evil /bad /wicked
The scientific name was later changed .
People today pretty much think that scientist don’t believe in the Bible ... Linnaeus set up the modern classification system according to it’s kind because HE DID BELIEVE in the written word.
Most of the great early scientists.....of whom most of the current crop of faux scientists are not worthy to carry their jockstraps......or sports bras, as the case may be, were total creationists and believers.
You probably are already familiar with this, but the website: www.truthinaction.org is the new website for what formerly was Coral Ridge Ministries; the late James Kennedy’s ministry. I believe you can find videos and other info there about the faith and statements by many of the great early scientists.
BTW: After I posted my replies last night and shut down my ‘puter to go get some zzzzzs, I thought maybe I overdid it. If I did; I apologize.
A number of years ago our church offered to tell you your spiritual gift if you participated in a little personal quiz about yourself. They told me that my gift is EXHORTATION. I think that puts me in the same class as the apostle Paul’s buddy Barnabas and others. It surely FITS me. I’ll jump into a dissertation on a passage of Scripture in the blink of an eye.....sort of like a dog that chases cars. ;o)
Blessings on you and yours.
