Science is not an entity, and so science doesn't "work".
Where do you get a "function" for "science", anyway?
So are you saying, above, that scientists are not honest?
"Science" of any discipline is philo-sophy of any discipline. Philosophy means love of wisdom.
Love of wisdom is the engine which drives true philosophy/science. Evolution is not love of wisdom, love of sophy , but hatred of wisdom and love of folly.

Jesus Christ is the Wisdom of God. Love of Jesus Chriist is love of Wisdom -love of Science.
Jesus Christ is the Truth. Love of Jesus Christ is love of Truth.
Jesus Christ is the Life. Love of Jesus Christ is love of Life.

Aw shucks, you're soo clever, you got me. It must be magic.

BTW which one of Noah's sons are you descended from? If you a so co.ck sure, your family tree must go back to at least one of them. I will be waiting.

Oh I ain't all shmart and stuff lack you guys! I guess I ain't much for all that fancy book learnin'. Jus' an ol' hay seed.........

Maybe you think I don't know science. You can have that if you wish. But
I do know FAITH when I see it. You are execising more faith than a Christian ever would.

You just try to disguise your faith as SCIENCE.

Oh and believe me. Christians don't know a lot of things.

No, sanspeur, you are incorrect, science is the tool that scientists use to prove their theory.

This is a common misconception with science. Many people think that scientists are honest people sitting in their labs doing science to discover the truth, but this is farthest from the truth. Most scientists, have a personal idea of how the universe works, they then spend the rest of their lives attempting to prove that the universe operates as they think using scientific principles. They should after much study prove their theory right or wrong and move on to the truth, but this does not happen. Most continue on with their life long passion to reveal their personal belief upon the universe. Hence evolution.

My mother is Jewish, so my family tree goes back to Eber, the father of the H(ebrews). Eber was a grandson of Noah and a son to Shem.

Everyone descends from one of the sons of Noah!

Also; Ray Comfort has reviewed Darwin's "Origin of Species" which is in public domain, and has republished it with his reviews; Ray Comfort reproduces 'Origin of Species' with creation comparisons
His book was a book of biology. Theologians' opinions on the topic are irrelevant.

In 1972, the latter changed its name to the Institute for Creation Research, and Dr. Gish has served as Associate Director and Vice President since that time.
That's better than average for a creationist, I must say...

Except that he's writing about cosmology, not biology, so he has no relevant qualifications whatsoever. And without peer-review, we have no guarantee that his work is of any value.

Circular reasoning. The Bible cannot be said to have been written by God only because it says so.

By definition, admitting ignorance cannot be faith.

Science does not know everything. So sometimes the scientific answer is "we don't know". Yet.

If you're looking for evidence of the original singularity, I'm afraid it gets very complicated very fast. The kind of equations that describe the expansion of space itself are not for the faint of heart...
The basic stuff is available on a simple Google search. I'm afraid the topic has never interested me that much.

On what basis are you making such a claim anyway? it certainly isn't true for most scientists. But regardless, that's irrelevant for science in general.

If a scientist write an article or a book defending a false hypothesis, his book will not pass peer-review. Not because it's not "mainstream" enough, but because it will most likely contain errors or contradictions with observed reality (since the hypothesis is false), or simply not to a better job at explaining the world than the current major theory. Maybe the misguided scientist will persist in his belief regardless, and maybe he will waste his life trying to prove it, but his hypothesis will never become accepted by science until he can support it with sufficient evidence. That's how and why the scientific method works.

He made the genetic code for each kind and said to the kinds not to cross, but to reproduce after their own kind; yet the Watchers taught how to cross kinds by "cutting roots" =splitting genes. They did it first by marrying daughters of Adam and getting offspring from them by gene splicing, who were of the Adam flesh but not of the Adam spirit, being of their own evil rebel spirits. This is written in Enoch and in Jasher and in Jubilees and in the Book of the Giants attributed by the Qumran community also to Enoch, in the Dead Sea Scrolls collections.

Nothing science fiction has made up is new. It has all been done before, and that is why God divided the tribes by confounding the mother tongue to the many, at Babel, to keep rebel men in league with fallen angels/Watchers and devils and demons, from doing whatever they imagined, and by that evil imagination, making the earth worthless and unredeemable.
I have no rational answer to this concoction, but I did watch Lord of The Rings last night. It was quite believable.
