Science

 

"Children in whom was no blemish, but well favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans." Dan 1:4
"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called." 1 Tim. 6:20
KJV term (Dan. 1:4; 1 Tim. 6:20) for knowledge. Scripture describes Daniel's knowledge with admiration and approval but warns against meaningless debate of issues for the sake of human pride not leading to useful knowledge. See Gnosticism. 
Men of science today have a low regard for the Bible as a science book when it is true to science and speaks in a manner to be understood by all men on this earth today.
 Has to do with phenomenon (a fact or occurrence that can be observed). It is a truthful statement made by one that the beginning and end of things are both absolutely hidden from science. God Who was there and will be in the end is not so limited.

Genesis comes in with revelation from a servant who was given the account from the Ones' Who not only were there but participated in the creation acts (Triune Godhead-all three present and active). Science must confess its impotence that revelation steps in, and, with the authority of God, reveals those things that are far above it. The beginning of Genesis, therefore, is a divinely inspired account of the events deemed necessary by God to establish the foundations for the Divine Law in the sphere of human life, and to set forth the relation between the omnipotent Creator and the man who fell, and the race that was to be redeemed by the incarnation of His Son. To deny that part of the Bible as not trustworthy lays waste to all of the foundational doctrines that cry out for a Redeemer.
  

For someone to give science preferential credibility over the Creators eye witness testimony is

1. Failure to know of His love for that which He has created.
2. Care for that which He has created.
3. Desire for that which He has created.
4. Failure to believe that He could have prior knowledge of the future destiny that He is unfolding.
5. Daring to call the testimony that the Creator Himself gave in the NT concerning those 6 days as untrue and not to be trusted, lacking credibility.
6. Ends with worshipping the creature rather than the Creator for their hope lies in the human as the source of problems as well as made up solutions to those problems.

“Science falsely so-called” above is, in the Greek, literally “pseudo-science” or “pseudo knowledge.” This pseudo-science is nothing other than evolutionism, which has been in “oppositions” against God as Savior and Creator and the world as His creation since the beginning of time. In Paul’s day, it mainly took the form of Epicureanism (based on atheistic evolutionism) and Stoicism (based on pantheistic evolutionism). It soon would take the form of Gnosticism and later of Neo-Platonism, both also assuming evolution. In other parts of the world, it had the form of Taoism, Hinduism, Confucianism, or Buddhism, all based squarely on some form of pantheistic evolution and an infinitely old cosmos. In recent times it assumed the form of Darwinism, though men are now returning again to various forms of eastern religion and their systems of pantheistic evolution, still rejecting God as Creator and Christ as Savior. Yet all forms of evolutionism are pseudo-science at best, filled with “profane and vain babblings.” Note the following summary of current scientific evidence against evolutionism.
1.        There is no present evolution; only horizontal variations and extinctions.
2.        There was no past evolution, only ubiquitous gaps between basic kinds in the fossils.
3.        There can be no possible evolution, since universal laws of conservation and decay now govern all natural processes.
4.        There has been no time period long enough for evolution, because historical records go back only a few thousand years, and the fossil record speaks only of rapid formation.
5.        There is no Biblical evolution (see Gen. 1:25; 2:1-3; 1 Cor. 15:38-39).
6.        There can have been no theistic evolution, for death came into the world only when man sinned (Rom. 5:12; 1 Cor. 15:21).
7.        There could have been no pantheistic evolution, for God condemns all who worship the creation as its own creator (Rom. 1:20-25).

Truth cannot contradict the Bible, since God, who knows all things, kept the writers of the Bible from error. If theories that rest upon mere speculation or insufficient evidence are presented as fact, in any area of knowledge, e.g. in religion, philosophy, science, etc., they deserve the description that the apostle gives here: "what is falsely called knowledge," from which they are to "turn away."
