<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

The fact that humans are three-part beings comes into play here. We are spirit, mind, and body. God designed the human spirit to rule over the human mind and the human mind to rule over the human body. The emotions and brain are part of the human body. Satan and his host try to influence us through our bodies, which the Bible terms “the flesh.” The Holy Spirit deals with our spirits and communicates with us through our spirits. When we’re born again, it appears that our spirits are in unity with the Holy Spirit and we’re seated with Christ in the heavenly places. Spiritual warfare is about the control of our minds, which are our souls. Satan works through our flesh, but the Holy Spirit works through our spirits. With our minds, we choose whether to follow our flesh or walk in the Spirit. At every moment of every day we decide.

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

Evolution scientists and creation scientists both use the same observations. However, the interpretation varies. Creation scientists also use divine revelation. So that’s another factor. Evolution scientists counter divine revelation with their worldviews and the groupthink worldview of the scientific establishment. They sometimes label this groupthink worldview with the confusing term “established science” or “mainstream science.” Evolution scientists try to interpret the observations to conform to their worldviews. Creation scientists also try to interpret the observations and revelations, and they also struggle with their own worldviews. The interpretation always goes beyond the observations and revelations. We can test the observations physically. We can test the biblical text physically. We can test the revelation spiritually. We can’t test the interpretations. The interpretations take the form of storytelling.

Evolution scientists often question revelation. God speaks through Scripture and every process of God’s revelation mentioned in Scripture. Evolution scientists might accuse us of merely making up a story that the Scripture is divine revelation. They may accuse us of circular reasoning, and here’s what they say we say:

“The Bible says that it’s divine revelation, so the Bible is divine revelation, so we can believe the Bible when it says that it’s divine revelation.”

But we have the assurance from the Holy Spirit that the Bible is God’s Word without error. God speaks through many means. When God speaks, that’s not circular reasoning. They can question God’s authority or question whether we’re experiencing what we’re experiencing, but the circular reasoning accusation is silly.

When new observations conflict with the story of evolution, evolution scientists create new stories to shoehorn the new observations into the original story. Evolution scientists tell their stories in a way that avoids conflicts with what they observe, but that’s not the same as basing their stories on observations.

The Package Deal Fallacy in Science

During the Nye-Ham debate, Bill and Ken disagreed about whether there’s a difference between observational science and historical science. Rather than focusing on definitions, it’s often more helpful to focus on what’s happening. What’s happening is simple. On the one hand, we observe. On the other hand, we speculate about what we can’t test or observe. A better term would be “historical storytelling” rather than “historical science.” Science applied to the present physical realm depends on observation, testing, and experimentation. There’s a difference between observation and making up stuff. There’s a difference between observation and interpretation of observations. There’s a difference between divine revelation and interpretation of divine revelation. We can’t test made-up stuff.

We’re assuming that both creation scientists and evolution scientists begin with scientific observation. An evolutionist may say, “So you do agree that we base the stories of evolution on science, then.” Of course, evolution scientists base their stories on the stories themselves. Since the stories go beyond what scientists observe, they extend beyond the borders of the foundation, the foundation being observation. Therefore, evolution scientists don’t base their stories on observation.

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

As we already discovered, the axiomatic thinking fallacy isn’t a rational basis for thought and is the most basic of all fallacies. It’s most basic because axioms are simply assumptions that we dogmatically believe without proof. Axiomatic thinking says:

“I made this up. Therefore, it’s true.”

They claim that axioms are true without proof. Reasoning always relies on either divine revelation or axiomatic thinking fallacies. Therefore, we again see that axiomatic thinking fallacies don’t provide a true premise. Axiomatic thinking fallacies don’t provide a way to be rational. Revelation does provide a true premise and thus a way to be rational.

Andy Bannister, on page 133 of his book “The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist,” noted:

“Revelation is not contrary to reason. But scientism, the idea that science can tell us everything is not merely contrary but devastating to reason.”

On page 139 of the same book, Andy says:

“. . . if that God is truly personal, then perhaps He has done what personal creatures do all the time – namely communicate.”

From there, Andy uses knowing himself as an example.

“. . . if you want to get to know what I’m really like, you could buy and read my books. . . . But there’s an even better way: you could ask those who know me, or get to know me personally yourself.”

Think of the consequences of Andy’s suggestion: “. . . or get to know me personally yourself.” What an alternative! What about getting to know God personally? We can do just that through Jesus Christ.

Andy also mentions Daniel Dennett’s unproven claim of materialism:

“There is only one sort of stuff, namely matter.”

Dennett goes on to make another amazing claim without proof:

“The mind is somehow nothing but physical phenomenon. In short, the mind is the brain.”

Dennett continued on to the materialism of human thought. He claimed human thought is like continental drift, photosynthesis, and other similar things. Andy Bannister comments:

“So, if Dennett is right, something follows: those things are not rational; therefore, neither are we.”

Dennett just claimed that no one could be rational, and he did it based on axiomatic thinking. He probably didn’t mean to, but he did. Dennett still thinks that he’s rational and that everyone ought to listen to him, but he doesn’t even notice the conflict. As we meet ungodly dogmatic thinkers, we find that they need to use irrationality similar to Dennett’s so they can keep deceiving themselves to avoid Christ and His righteousness. And here’s the bottom line. They don’t want Christ because their deeds are evil and they love darkness rather than light. ^{(John 3:19-21)}

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

Schools should teach scientific opinion as just that, tentative opinion, and yet they teach opinions as if they were part of reality. Only a fool believes without checking things out. ^{(Proverbs 15:16)} Sadly, many students are gullible enough to believe what the schools tell them without ever checking anything out for themselves. Oh, they’ll check for some opinion online, in books, or in articles, but do they ever see proof? Remember that proof can’t contain any assumptions or it isn’t proof. Of course, other forces work to brainwash students. For instance, the students’ gullibility and credulity often starts when students do immoral acts. Once they give themselves over to sin, they become biased against God and against all truth. They’re ready for some way to justify their bad behavior. Peer pressure is a huge force that Satan uses to bring these students into conformity to the lie. And simple laziness is a factor since it’s much easier to avoid critical thinking than to dedicate the time needed to seek God’s mind.

<quote from Real Faith & Reason, vol 2>

Often, an author gets rich writing a book about a “breakthrough” in science, but later, new information exposes the “breakthrough” as obviously false, so the book is forgotten. That is, either people forget the failure, or the author uses the failure as a reason to believe the next speculation. When the author comes up with new speculations based on new “evidence,” the author uses the new speculations to create a new book and another income stream. If another discovery exposes the new speculations as false, the cycle repeats. ^{(https://creation.com/abandoned-transitional-forms)}

And this cycle wouldn’t be a problem if those in the scientific establishment weren’t so sure about what they now think is true. However, they’re dogmatic and protective to the point where censorship is rampant and people who disagree lose their jobs. Scientific opinion is tentative. An open-minded person challenges every scientific claim or viewpoint, especially the sacred cows. However, the religious dogmatism of those biased toward naturalism and materialism won’t allow it. They hinder scientific progress and waste tax money.
