You have been repeatedly told that science has disproved The Holy Bible. Do you believe these claims, or do you believe the Bible? Have you decided?
Some take another approach. Instead of deciding which one is true, they make a compromise. They change plain teachings of the Bible to suit the latest fad.
The Bible does not allow a compromise, since it claims to be the Word of God. If the Bible is not true, then you would do well to find a trustworthy source of teaching, rather than attempting to decide which parts of the Bible are true, and “adjusting” the portions you find disagreeable; putting your own authority above The Author.
Science does not require a compromise. When the claims, regarding science disproving the Bible, are examined, it is found that they are merely opinions about the implications of science. The assertions themselves are not properties of nature which are observable, repeatable, and testable, which disqualifies the claims as being science. Rather, they are ideology, yet another faith, the faith of Secular Humanism. No true scientific evidence has ever contradicted the Bible. The contradiction is in the interpretation of the evidence.
This humanist interpretation is to be expected from humanists. The foundational purpose of these assertions is an attempt to explain origins from a completely naturalistic, or materialistic, view point. It is a thesis striving to answer the question, “How could existence have arisen without God?” Thus, this atheist ideology will see all scientific evidence in this light.
If Atheism is true, then the Bible is not true. If the Bible is true, then Atheism is not true. There is no point in compromising between the two, or trying to harmonize them.
John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?
Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

There are many aspects of the Bible like the origins of the Universe (Genesis) which are not compatible with contemporary science.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, that is what we have been told, haven’t we? The origin of the universe is not science, it is history. It is not observable, repeatable or testable, so it is disqualified from the realm of science.
When we use scientific evidence to attempt to determine what happened in history, this is called forensics. Scientists who are secular humanists will claim that forensics proves their version of history. Scientists who are Biblical Creationists can show you how forensics is completely consistent with the Bible’s version of history.
What we really need, to settle the matter, is a reliable witness. God was there, and He never lies. He tells us clearly about the origin of the universe, in Genesis, and confirms it throughout the rest of scripture.
No prob.
Well compare the Genesis model of the origins on the Cosmos and on of the origins of Man to the Big Bang theory and Evolution, which are prevailing scientific models, supported by many evidence (of course they are theories with still some discussion and problems on several details). It is possible that we may reach circumstances in particle accelerators similar to those of the early Universe. The Big Bang theory is generally accepted because its predictions are observable and tested today. Many times, though, creationists invoke pseudoscience in order to support their own claims or presuppositions, however I am not implying that there was certainly no creator.
Sorry for the delayed response. We just had a new baby, so I have been a bit distracted.
Since this discussion is off-topic for our blog, I will make this my final reply.
I am very glad to hear that you are open to the possibility that there is a creator. He wants to be found by you so, if you keep sincerely seeking Him, then you will find Him. Please feel free to contact me directly and I will introduce you to Him. Or you can just read this post.
I agree that some creationists use pseudoscience to support their arguments. I wish they would not do that, since it gives us a bad name and makes it easy for skeptics to think they have successfully refuted creationism. There are plenty of us creationists, such as ICR and AIG, who are quite careful to use only valid science.
When I compare Genesis to Evolution, I find that one of them fails. The Holy Bible has never been scientifically disproved. That is the point of this blog post: to explain why some think it has. Both the Big Bang Theory and Evolution have already be scientifically disproved. The scientists already know this. You won’t read much about this in the news, since Secular Humanism (who controls most of the news) has not yet found a better Atheistic explanation. Think of it: Darwinism was disproved scientifically, so they came up with another explanation, which has been disproved, etc. When they come up with yet another story, then you will hear all about it in the news. But you must ask yourself, “Why should I believe this new story, since it is just a matter of time before it is replaced again?”
I will add you on Facebook then if you want to discuss further… ;P
