“Science” Blindness

Matt Miles • April 19, 2017

Spring of 2017 has been very profitable for the Kingdom. As I have traveled to Texas, Kansas, and Iowa, the Lord has used the message of Truth from His Word to impact lives, along with our Mobile Museum of Earth History, set up for all to observe His mighty creative power through some truly great creatures. All the miles are worth it when someone expresses that our ministry has impacted their view of Scripture and history. Often youth get answers to their questions about dinosaurs in light of Biblical history, but we also have those grandma and grandpas that share a great gratitude to finally have answers for questions they have had since they were young. To have them see a new light and the power of Scripture and, in turn, excitement for their Savior because of our ministry is deeply encouraging.

Every so often we come across someone that is more deeply ensconced in evolutionary science and has a hard time getting past their belief. They are professing believers, yet they hold to a belief in evolutionary processes or, at the least, the long time frame. Their intellect and knowledge of “science” impacts them to a point that hinders an open heart and mind to Truth. Most of these people, when asked for specifics in science that prove it can’t possibly have happened the way the Lord told us He created it, will give very well-meaning science answers. The majority of answers have data behind them, but they are being interpreted through the lens of an evolutionary worldview. The struggle for me is when you know someone has this worldview and will not even be open to a differing worldview. When they are parents of youth who are developing a worldview and their thoughts are skewed about Biblical truth, it is very discouraging. This was the case on a recent trip – they were present for the message Sunday morning, yet never came back the rest of the week. My struggle is to hear of this family and know they are seeking truth from science, yet they will not allow the Lord to share truth in their lives from His Word. I pray continually that the Lord will use me to reach those people that truly are seeking truth. When we start with the Truth of God’s Word and then do science, the answers always match up. We do not have to be afraid of science (observe, test, repeat, and falsify); the Lord has used many Bible-believing creationists to reveal many of His mighty works of creation.

This battle for worldview will continue until He returns. I am continually encouraged by those that come to hear His message of Truth and are changed because of it, but I also pray for those that will not hear this message and continue to be blinded by evolutionary science as if it were true.

This summer we have been busy advancing our mission. Not only have we traveled many miles in our efforts, but we have almost completed our Mobile Museum of Earth History expansion. Back at the beginning of the year when we announced the expansion, there was uncertainty around the time frame of completion since we knew the amount of design and fabrication that was needed for this task. Then an event that was scheduled for the end of summer with the full collection was upgraded to the “mega” expanded collection. This put a deadline on our expansion that focused us and applied a bit of pressure. With many hours of head scratching, planning, design and sweat, we slowly brought the expansion together. When we were unsure about new stands needed for our 24-foot wide Pteranodon , the Lord provided. Michael and Amy Harris (supporters from Willow Hill, IL) donated disc blades, while Aaron Lawrence (minister at Barnsdall Christian Church, OK) fabricated the blades into bases and made rods and hooks to hold the fossil. The stands are such a blessing and exactly what we needed to exhibit one of the Lord’s creations. The Lord has continually provided what we've needed from supplies to funds.
