Is Our Freedom Being Taken Through the Medium of Science?

I watched this eye-opening documentary yesterday and I wanted to share it with you. It had been recommended to me more times than I remember, so I am glad I finally got around to watching it. Maybe you can make some time for it during your Thanksgiving break (don't worry, it's not in black and white). Feel free to share your thoughts about it below.

Cherry Picking Data?

Creationists research is sometimes disqualified by evolutionists because they are said to be biased towards certain information - that they cherry pick their data. The aim of science is to be objective as evidence is gathered. Evolutionists refuse to consider catastrophic events that are outlined in the Bible (such as a world-wide flood) because they don't want to introduce religion into their work. Creationists believe that the Bible has important clues to the creation of the world so do not discount it.  This is considered bias. In my opinion, the bias is in not being willing to consider the events - but I digress...

It is dishonest to claim that one doesn't have a bias. Every person has a paradigm with which they view the world. Even when a scientist is trying to be objective, he/she still needs to acknowledge that they have biases they may not be aware of.

Objectivity is best achieved when scientist admit there is bias when they look at and interpret evidence. Scientists are dishonest when they deny this fact.

Is there proof of bias in evolutionary perspective? The following video shares a good case study about how this happens even with well-respected researchers when it comes to guessing the age of a discovery. It also teaches us why various radiometric dating methods seem to confirm each other even though many claim that these dates are not close to accurate.

Outcomes of Faith in Evolution

On Thursday, Vince Newmeyer gave a lecture about how not believing  in God could affect a society. There are certain assumptions about the meaning of life and the worth of individuals that stem from our belief of our origin.

We also learned of the agenda by the National Science Standards leaders to teach only evidence for evolution at early ages so that children come around to that way of thinking even if taught differently in the home.

After watching his lecture and/or the youtube video below, please comment below on the possible outcomes you see for individuals or society when the evolution of man becomes what we believe in.

The following YouTube video does a good job of showing that evolution is a belief system (it is not possible to believe in it without faith in things you cannot see). It also does a good job of showing some of the outcomes of that belief system in the choices we make regarding human life.
