I took a quick look at your posting Richard.
You open with "A leading 21st Century scientist publicly stated, “science is what is true”. ". Being curious, I'd love to know who that was. Yes, I get that you are using that as a launch point ... I'd still love to know who it was.
You then state "Six hundred years ago, scientists believed our sun circles the earth. ". I'm not convinced that "scientists" (as we use the term now) did, but it was a very very popular religious idea. The interesting take away from that is that the reason we no longer accept that old idea is because of science, not despite it.
You cite a few other examples. A central point that is missed is that those old rather wrong bad ideas have been replaced by far better ideas because of science.
One major misunderstanding relates to evolution. It is true that it does not explain the origin of life, but that was never the hypothesis. It is actually a model that explains the vast diversity of life.
OK, so my point is this - science is not a body of knowledge, but instead is a methodology for working out what is not wrong. Nothing is ever right, simply not wrong. In other words it is open to modification when better data becomes available. It does not claim to be static, nor does it claim to be right.
If indeed you don't follow a scientific methodology, then how exactly do you then work out what is wrong and what is not wrong ... in very simple terms ...
- make an observation, gather more data
- form a hypothesis that might explain it
- test it and so reach a conclusion
but later if better data comes along then rinse and repeat.
I've not yet read your entire article. It's long ... very very long, but thought you might be interested in some initial thoughts after reading the opening.
Side Note: I'm honestly not looking for an argument or debate, just passing on a few thoughts that might (or might not) be of interest.
Am I convinced that Genesis aligns with modern science? Honestly no ... (you can see my brief posting on that - your comment is under it ... but I've yet to read your posting, so who knows, perhaps I'll change my mind, or perhaps not ... let's see).
