Everyone approaches science from a worldview… from their own persepctive. Everyone has a set of beliefs and biases. I do not believe or ascribe to evolution or intelligent design. I am a young earth creationist… just so you know my bias. I believe the Bible and therefore approach science through that lens. They are not mutually exclusive but entirely compatible.

Science at its essence is the systematic study and body of knowledge pertaining to the physical, material world. Approaching that study with correct assumptions and beliefs will only make the study of science more accurate.

So the question becomes: what are the correct assumptions and beliefs with which to approach science? If one believes that there is an immatierial world and approaches the study of the material world with that in my mind… then if they are correct in their belief in the immaterial world… it will only enhance their study of the material world.

The biggest problem I see in the study of science is pride. As we learn and grow in our study of the material world we may learn that what we once thought to be true is fraught with problems. Because of pride we cannot go back on what we profess whether we know it to be false or not… pride inhibits belief which inhibits understanding and knowing.

The interesting thing is that many prominent atheists and evolutionists profess and claim to have believed in God at one time. They did not or do not see the evidence for an immaterial world and therefore reject that premise when studying science.

So, when a bright individual (or anyone really) sees evidence for an immaterial world, then those who do not, in pride, can very easily discount them or their view. Surely they could not have missed it themselves? It would take great humility to re-examine those thoughts and say one was wrong. To go back, humbly and sincerely, and look for evidence for the immaterial is something most people will not do… but that is what is needed to properly study science and the material world.

Lastly, I would say that I can understand the unbelief on either side of the argument with regard to the opposing view. Both sides are so convinced by what they see as the evidence for their view that they see no need to consider the other side’s evidence… it would be absurd to them. So the key thing is, determining the beliefs with which they approach their evidence.

There is truth.

Everyone knows that America (the land of the free, home of the brave) was founded to provide freedom. The pilgrims came to find religious freedom. So much is made about free speech and the freedom to choose (whatever it may be), and past wars were fought and lives have been given to protect this freedom that so many others do not have. I am extremely thankful for this freedom and it is easy to take it for granted. That being said, after watching this film, it is frightening to think that such drastic measures are being taken by those who do not agree with Intelligent Design to prevent it from even being discussed or presented as a possible option. Why is it frightening? Because I am afraid to lose freedom, the freedom to do what is right as there are so many things that freedom allows.

No one can absolutely prove that there is an intelligent Creator, but no one can PROVE an alternative to how life really began as well. A measure of faith is needed to believe any view of how life began. I believe a persons world-view plays a major role in this debate and how people choose what they would rather believe. If you believe in God or are even willing to consider the fact that a higher power may exist, this will affect the way one draws conclusions about many things in life.

So, the main question is how did life begin in the first place? I fully support the freedom this country provides to those who believe in Evolution with all of their heart and those that present that theory in the classroom and elsewhere, but why are those who have a convincing argument for Intelligent Design expelled and not allowed to merely discuss another option?

One thing I noticed was that science was god to these misguided scientists. They have spent all their time seeking global notoriety and no time analyzing their own claims. What I mean by that is they invest in something they cannot prove to deny something they can’t see because they can’t explain it. This pushes them further from the God they claim to have known, when their words deny Him. It seems as though they may have grown up in church or maybe had a sense of religion at some point, but never a true experience with God.

This is more evident with the angst and rage communicated through many blogs and in response to the movie itself. Rage is not an answer to silence the argument between intelligent design and darwinism. It only makes the pursuer, or in this case the Darwinist dumb down their own theory. You see, if you retreat to name-calling and hatred you have something to hide and in this case it’s absolute truth.

In my mind this argument will never go away as long as there are skeptics and hatred. People will always try to cover over or discredit what they don’t understand or have not experienced.

Get into it and don’t be afraid of a robust and thorough debate. This is what I will do about the movie expelled. You should too, because science is not our God.
