Errors Criticized and Corrected?

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
    but whoever hates correction is stupid.

  • Proverbs 12:1

Mockers resent correction,
    so they avoid the wise.

  • Proverbs 15:12

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

  • 1 John 1:8

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

  • Romans 1:20

“’Science is perhaps the only human activity in which errors are systematically criticized and … in time, corrected.’ – Karl Popper”

  • Bryan Magee, The Story of Philosophy

“Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.”

  • C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

Karl Raimund Popper (1902-1994) was a Austrian-British philosopher and social commentator.  He was famous for his rejection of the scientific method in favor of empirical falsification.  One example of this is that it was thought that all swans were white.  But then a black swan was discovered.  Stating that all swans are white was falsifiable.

And yet, each times science disproves, or in some cases highly points toward disproof, why do the proponents of evolution, Big Bang, and millions of years make excuses for the failure of their theories rather than accepting defeat?

There is only one explanation that I can see.  They would have to admit that the biblical narrative was right overall.

I watched a recent episode of the Cornerstone television network show, Origins, where the guest scientist talked about Darwin’s imposter.  It is probably available on Youtube.  Darwin introduced natural selection, and the natural question to ask is who selects?  Darwin personifies Nature, essentially describing God, but in saying Nature, Darwin ignores God.

One of Darwin’s supporters wrote that this personification of Nature is a weak theory, and the great amount of evidence that his theory is false does not work is obvious and inescapable.  But he had made his bed in the Evolution camp, and he could not let go.

So, Real Science can stand up to empirical falsification.  It can hold up under scrutiny.

One could say that the biblical narrative cannot be examined by empirical falsification in that there is a point where you have to accept something by faith.  No experimental evidence can prove the unprovable, but it cannot falsify it either.

Yet, Evolution and millions of years have been falsified through empirical data, yet they modify their theories to add enough confusion to seem reasonable.

And why?  To ignore God.  Science that ignores data due to a preconceived bias is not science at all.  It is a religion, a religion based on lies and false hope.  Hope in what?  They have no hope of a Savior, no hope of someone who can be there in times of trouble, and no hope of life after death.

They are desperately clinging to hope in nothingness.

Soli Deo Gloria.  Only to God be the Glory.
