Science is unpredictable. It also tends to be self-correcting, and good explanations have a strength and life of their own. Other consequences of our presumption go beyond the practical. The universe is God's creation and science is its study. On this basis alone, a strong background in science should be an integral and valued part of a Christian liberal arts education.
Bad science is a turning away from truth.
It has no place in our institutions. Let us teach science, boldly, without apology. By our example we can encourage our students in a joyful humility towards the Creation, eschewing all demands that 9 demonstrable facts of nature conform to human interpretations of the Bible. This Creation is what God has done. Let us avoid placing restrictions on how.
