General science questions:1. Q:Why do creationists fight against science?EarthinDecember*NOT to scaleEarthinJuneA:2. Q:A:Your question has me confused. All major branches ofscience were started by creationists. There has never beenone advancement in any field of science that the evolutiontheory has helped. The evolution theory is useless. Idon’tknow of any creationists who fights against science. Icertainly love science and taught it for 15 years. Mostcreationists that Iknow love science and only fight againstevolution. You may be confusing the evolution theory withscience. Some think the two go together. This is acommonmistake due to the intense evolution propaganda campaignof the last 50 years. It would help if you watch my videotape#4 for more on this. There has never been any evidencethat any kind of plant or animal has ever been able to createitself or produce any other kind of plant or animal. We haveseen thousands of changes within the created kinds but thatis not evolution. Please don’t accuse me of being againstscience. Iam only against the false teaching of evolution asscience.If the earth is only 6000 years old, how is it we can seestars that are billions of light years away?This is one of the most commonly asked questions anddeserves an honest answer. Below is first ashort answerthen amore thorough answer. There are three things weneed to consider when answering the starlight question.1.Scientists cannot measure distances beyond 100 light yearsaccurately.2. No one knows what light is or that it always travels thesame speed throughout all time, space and matter.3. The creation was finished or mature when God made it.Adam was full-grown, the trees had fruit on them, thestarlight was visible, etc.Let me elaborate on these 3points. First, no one can measurestar distance accurately. The furthest accurate distance mancan measure is 20 light years (some textbooks say up to100), not several billion light years. Man measures stardistances using parallax trigonometry. By choosing twomeasurable observation points and making an imaginarytriangle to athird point, and using simple trigonometry,man calculates the distance to the third point. The mostdistant observation points available to an earth boundobserver are the positions of the earth in solar orbit sixmonths apart, say June and December.
