Sorry this is long.
I ended up in a heated discussion with someone, whom I think was an atheist and evolutionist, who exclaimed birds came from dinosaurs. I said that I didn't think little, tiny birds evolved from great, big, gigantic dinosaurs and that Oregon State University research showed that a bird's lung development was different from a dinosaur's, i.e. a bird would not be able to breathe and fly if they had lungs like dinosaurs. He came back and insisted, "BIRDS ARE DINOSAURS!" and went on to explain in a rant like fashion. I looked at my six days of creation chart and saw that birds or flying animals were created on the 5th day while land animals were created on the 6th. Now, I didn't tell him this, but it dawned on me that whatever atheists/evolutionists believe contradicts what God stated in the first two books of Genesis.
The findings of science, are indeed in contradiction with the creation myth of the bible.
Just like it is in contradiction with all other creation myths from other religions.
Nothing new under the sun...
So, my questions is -- Is this evidence for Satan?
No. It's evidence of the creation myth being wrong.
It's a disproval of those claims.
If a book/claim says X and the facts of reality show the opposite, then it's not the facts of reality that are wrong.
What I am getting at using the Bible and science in regards to Satan is to show evidence that he exists. In the Bible and Genesis, we have God created the heavens and Earth from nothing
Why should we care what the bible says?
, but evolutionary thinking says it was the big bang which caused it from nothing. Before that it was the eternal universe.
That's not "evolutionary thinking", whatever you mean by that.
Those are just the findings of science. Which, btw, doesn't say the universe is eternal.
God created Adam and Eve as adult humans and animals as adult animals
The evidence of reality doesn't support this at all - it only contradicts it.
And so on. It turned out that everything I could think of between creation and atheist/evolutionary beliefs contradicted each other. All of these debates have come down throughout the centuries, so there could be no collaboration as to what the people who came up with the evolutionary hypothesis wrote.
Well, it is true that in science, there can be no collaboration with people who think that their a priori beliefs get presedence over the facts of reality.
As it should be, obviously.
If you're just going to ignore the facts and stick to your faith based beliefs anyway, what's the point of investigating anything? No matter what you'll find, you're just going to stick to your beliefs. So doing science with such a mindset is just a waste of time.
Science is only worth it if you are willing to learn and aren't afraid to find out that what you believe might be incorrect - and change your beliefs accordingly.
Rational folk make their beliefs match the evidence. Irrational folks try to force the evidence to fit their beliefs and if they can't, they just ignore the evidence. Which is literally what you are doing here.
These writers were scientists in different fields of work and it was written at different times. There was no intent to disprove the Bible in their hypothesis and discoveries.
Because the bible doesn't matter. In science, what matters is the practice of collecting and analysing data, followed by forming a hypothesis that makes predictions which are then tested for accuracy.
If the claims of the bible are correct, then that's what the data of reality will reveal.
But the claims of the bible are not correct. As the data reveals. Like you said: the science contradicts it.
And because of your biblical dogmatism, you can only default to the asanine conclusion that "
the science, and by extension the evidence of reality, must be wrong".
It wasn't put together in a book like the Bible (took 1500 years), but if it was, then it was as if Satan had wrote an antiGenesis as what Evolution (since the 1850s with uniformitarianism and then Darwin's bood) has become today.
These contradictions goes beyond that, too. It isn't just evolution, but moral values such as not killing a fetus vs. abortion and a woman's rights, homosexuality vs. man and woman marriage, and even how the world is going to end -- global fire vs. AGW (old) or huge asteroid hits the earth causing a catastrophic chain reaction (new). It turns out that everything that God stated in the Bible is contradicted by Satan. Maybe that's just his rebellious nature and he can't help himself.
And here's you trying to rationalise your rejection of scientific findings, all just to defend and stick to your dogmatic beliefs.
Thus, when you add all the contradictions up, is this evidence for Satan?
No.
When claims / beliefs contradict the evidence of reality, it means that the claims / beliefs are incorrect.
I'll throw you a bone and also add that
even if this Satan fellow was the one that "helped" scientists discover all that in one way or another, that statement would remain correct: if claims contradict evidence, it's the claims that are incorrect.
So even if Satan is the "real" scientist that discovered it all and merely "used" humans to impart that knowledge, then
still the evidence of reality contradicts biblical myth. Which means that the myths are wrong. Reality sure isn't wrong. Reality is what it is.
A claim being "correct" means that it matches reality.
An "incorrect" claim is a claim that does NOT match reality.
If your beliefs / claims don't match reality, it follows that they are incorrect.
