Responding to faith-motivated scientific criticism
A Christian claims that the earth can not be
five billion years old because the Bible says . . . ,
that stars can not be millions of light years distant
because the Bible says . . ., that evolution should
not be taught in schools because the Bible says . . .
A typical response: use evidence, scientific explanation
and logical argument to defend scientific facts and
beliefs.
A more effective response: go to the root of the
matter, pointing out the Bible's contradictions,
absurdities and, on occasion, outright lies.
The typical response is safer but often ineffective.
The second response requires courage but is more effective
because it addresses the root cause, belief in Biblical
accuracy and truth, rather than the effect, faith-motivated
scientific criticism.
