The proper Christian view of REAL science

The word "science" comes from the Latin word "scientia" which literally means "knowledge". Most scientists today aren't really practicing science. What they appear to be doing mostly resembles some sort of religion. The scientific disciplines are supposed to involve the application of knowledge to the field of study. That which passes for science today is not science at all but seems to be made up of mostly speculation and hypothetical theories designed to back one religious position over another.

The real essence of science has no religious bias. It doesn't make claims about the existence of God one way or the other. Science is knowledge in the natural sense. The existence of God is spiritually discerned. To know God is to have spiritual knowledge and through a relationship with God there is a real, natural manifestation in a person's life. Because the origin of the relationship is spiritual it is not something that can be tested in a lab. The physical results of this relationship with God can be observed in physical healings and other miraculous manifestations but when natural science is applied it fails because it does not recognize the transcendental realities. It would be like measuring the temperature of a liquid with an ohm meter. Your results will not yield any accurate information. Real and anecdotal evidence of changed lives resulting from encounters with the living God are too numerous to count. Test tubes and presupposed Atheism are useless when examining this evidence.

So science, as knowledge, is a benefit to everyone whether Christian or not. When scientists come up with findings that are indisputable we can thank them for their effort and make our own conclusions. We can ignore the conclusions of atheists and conflate the science with what we know from the Bible. So when the discovery of such things as endogenous retro-viruses becomes public and turns out to be real science we conflate that information with what the Bible says about the sins of the fathers being passed on to the following generations and conclude that the physical manifestation of sin is viral. If shared genetics (i.e. chimps and humans) show the same viral infections in the same markers the religious evolutionists claim to have proven the leap from primates to people (without transitional evidence) and yet the only thing proven is that the two share similar building material just as the Bible predicts
