Presenting the Case for Creation Science

Posted by -

Some people read or watch mysteries for the challenge of solving them, but many have noted that writers withhold information. In reality, detectives have to find and use the evidence they have in the here and now to reconstruct what happened in the past. This is forensic science.

In a courtroom, evidence is presented so a verdict can be reached. Both the prosecution and defense may be more interested in winning the case rather than reach the correct conclusion. Distractions, glossy presentations and wording, misleading logic and more can be utilized.

If origins evidence was presented in court, creationists would need to point out that everyone has the same evidence. It is interpreted by worldviews.

Atheists and other believers in universal common ancestor evolution present their case, but do not take all the evidence into account. The secular science industry has biased presentations in museums, documentaries, and so forth. Those can be slick, compelling, and entertaining; they want to win.

People who are interested in reaching the truth need both sides of the story. Biblical creationists and secular scientists have the same evidence available, but their worldviews cause them to interpret and present it differently.
When I was growing up, few things captured my imagination like a good mystery. I wanted to solve a conundrum before reading the solution, but no matter how good I got, my prediction often failed because it depended on how the author presented (or misrepresented) the evidence. Solving mysteries became a game of guessing the author’s intent rather than solving the mystery.
