Part of the problem is, “science” is a word that carries powerful connotations. Science, in the historical sense, is the verifiable stuff, the test-tube, data stuff. It’s supposed to be observable and measurable. And when something is observable and measurable and repeatable, it’s no longer contestable. So these guys concoct a theory that is neither observable nor measurable (the data is to the contrary), but by calling it “science,” it’s a trump card. You simply mustn’t understand it. You’re simply too dumb. They say. So in blind trust of the “experts” and shame for being called stupid, many Christians have conceded the point. Anyways, carry on with your work! It’s important.
I really appreciate the work you’re doing here, brother. Many Christians are so impressed by these mainstream theories that they’re willing to reinterpret Genesis to have a spot at the cool kids table. And it’s all presupposing that these theories hold any weight at all. The public schools have failed us because they present as fact what is fiction. Imagine if these numbers and probabilities were taught along side neodarwinism.
Absolutely man! It would be one thing if secularists had a really good case for evolution, but we knew it wasn't true because of what God has said. It's another thing to not even have any empirical credibility, even in your own camp, and then claim it's the truth. That's just asinine.

Really well put!
