11 Luke 12:2-3 (HCSB) There is nothing covered that wont be uncovered, nothing hidden that wont be made known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

19 Real Life Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF) February 3, 2013 The Truth Project Tour 5 Science: What is True? (Part 3) Discussion Questions Truth #4 The Blind Eye and Deaf Ear Modern science refuses to follow the evidence where it leads and instead treats alternative theories about the universe as fact. 1. Why did Einstein and other scientists want to believe that the world had always been here? What discovery spoiled their hopes? How do you feel about scientists who are driven more by their religious or philosophical worldview than by scientific data? 2. Suppose you were talking to someone who thought Darwin s theory of evolution explained life on earth. What evidence (or lack of evidence) in modern science would you mention to call evolution into doubt? 3. What are some ways that scientists have responded to evidence for intelligent design in the cell? How might you review or study the evidence further so that you can share it with others? Take-Away Material We have seen how fallen man ignores the plain evidence of objective scientific inquiry and promotes the atheistic philosophy of evolution primarily because he is determined to act as he pleases without answering to a higher authority. Does this hit close to home? Are we, as Christians, sometimes inclined to live our own lives without asking the Lord for His power and direction? Evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the son of God and if Jesus was not the Redeemer who dies for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing. G. Richard Bozarth Biologist must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved. Francis Crick I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science. Soren Lovtrup There is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, nothing hidden that won t be made known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
