Oh, but a feller don't even have to go that far. Just the idea that they can measure things right here is folly.
Declaring the oceans are rising by a quarter inch a year, or some such... There are literally a million factors involved, but they say it like it's gospel truth. We cannot accurately measure ocean volume, nor perfectly calculate how much sediment is getting washed down to make the bottom come up, nor even determine the resting level of the surface, not to mention land subsidence, and etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
The lion's share of it is mere conjecture.
Yet we rely on measurement each and every day. We get into an automobile with an engine machined to carefully measured sizes, expecting it to run smoothly to our destination, and brakes measured to perform correctly.
We expect our drinking water and food to be free of contaminants, and it is tested with measurement equipment, and expert people.
We use observation, science, and various criteria to order our lives. We trust them. We sent people to the moon and back, based on science.
But are you saying when it comes to the curiosity about earth's origins and nature, forget about science?
If we are to some day witness a replacement for a human limb, I look to scientists, not Benny Hinn.
I don't say it that way to insult. But those rooms full of people to watch Benny Hinn, insult my intelligence.
