It needs to be understood that true religion and true science never conflict. It is only when men begin theorizing in science that they begin conflicting with the Bible Truths. If one accepts proven scientific principles, he will find it impossible to believe in evolutionary theories which are contrary to scientific fact. The impression is often left by textbooks, teachers, and evolutionary scientists that <strong>all<\/strong> true scientists accept evolution as a proven fact and that anyone who refuses to accept it is a pitiable ignoramus. For example, in his book, <em>Outlines of General Zoology<\/em>, page 407, H. H. Newman says that the doctrine of evolution has no rival except \u201cthe outworn and completely refuted\u201d story of creation, which he opines is no longer believed by any except the ignorant, the dogmatic, and the prejudiced. (Mr. Newman may not be ignorant, but he shows all the signs of being dogmatic and prejudiced himself in such a statement.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Such pompous statements designed to arouse prejudice could hardly be further from the truth and are a disservice to science and common honesty alike. <em>The Directory of the American Scientific Affiliation <\/em>lists dozens of pages of names of doctors, professors, scientists, authors, and others in various fields of science as its members. The constitution of this group of distinguished persons requires that its affiliates believe in the two following propositions, among other things:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Holy Scriptures (the Bible) are the inspired Word of God, the only unerring guide of faith and conduct.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only mediator between God and man.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In addition, there are other nation-wide organizations such as the Bible-Science Association, Inc. and The Creation Research Society that embrace hundreds, if not thousands of the world\u2019s finest scientific minds. That all true scientists have swallowed evolution is no less than a big lie which needs to be laid to rest at the beginning of these studies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 10pt;\">[<strong>Note:<\/strong>\u00a0I wrote this article for, and it was published in the \u201cBible Thoughts\u201d Column for the <em>Hood County News<\/em>, Granbury, Texas, May 21, 1978.]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Attribution:<\/strong> From <em>thescripturecache.com<\/em>; Dub McClish, owner and administrator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Views: 0[Note: This MS is available in larger font on our Brief Articles 2\u00a0 page.] \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To attack the claims of scientists that deny God\u2019s creative work and advocate evolution as the explanation of origins is not to attack science.
