April 22, 2017, aka "Earth Day" was for many sad souls, a bad day. In over 600 locations across the globe, people came together to march together to speak with one voice in hopes of impressing upon the President Trump Administration, and administrations all over the world I suppose, not that they really matter ultimately, anyway, they came to impress upon world leaders to rely on objective data as a foundation for public policy. I say these souls are sad because they are being misled, and many will learn the Truth only when it is too late.
But what does the Bible say about trusting Science? Well, first we should know what science is. The study of science is understood to be the study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. Science is a methodology, a kind of loosely adhered to agreement between scientists to make observations, record data, experiment, analyze findings, present them to peers for review, etc etc. But what scientists refuse to acknowledge in this method is the greatest threat to knowledge of all - the human component.
Who is making observations? That's right, a fallible man. Who is compiling all this data? That's right, a fallible man. Who is doing the analysis? That's right, a fallible man. Who is reviewing these results? You're right again, fallible men. When the tool for measurement is off, how can one rightfully expect accurate measurements?
The Bible tells us that we cannot trust our own judgement because, you guessed it, we're fallible!

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14
Don't take my word for it. Consider for yourself what man's fallible science has offered the world:Jeremiah 17:9
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Still, the unregenerated man is a rebellious creature, and perhaps no greater show of rebellion and desire for self-destruction can be seen than the great March for Science that happened around the world. At the risk of upsetting our more sensitive readers, I'll show some pictures of the sad and misguided signs held high. I do this so we can see the faces of those who need prayers, and those who need to be avoided.Earth is held in place by invisible forces (Job 26:7); discovered by man in 1650

****WARNING FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS****
****UNABASHED, UNBIBLICAL SCIENTIFIC IMAGERY FOLLOWS****

This poor soul has never learned "peer review" gave the scientific community the "four bodily humors."

Hundreds of angry liberals came together to try and bully the president.

Someone doesn't remember Biblical Policies save lives (James 5:15),
now and for eternity (John 10:27-28)!

Are you threatening me?

When will scientists understand what's really at stake here?
