My Thoughts

Published this week in the magazine The Week is an article about how our science is broken. If it's still up you can find it here: http://theweek.com/articles/618141/big-science-broken.

It states that our configuration of tenure and financial support goes to scientists that are out of touch. By out of touch the author goes on to state the scientists awarded with the largest grants are the ones invested in their position so much that any scientific evidence that disproves their theory is covered up and ignored because they fear being de-funded. They are out of touch with the true scientific manner in that they no longer follow the results of a scientific approach, but they follow the money. They only show results proving their theory, they only run tests that prove their theory and not a real battery of tests that could disprove it.

Why is this important? It's important because in our culture Science has replaced religion. Science has created new industries (check out the Global Warming craze of the last decade, check out the government funded renewable energy company that died because their business was not renewable) that are unnecessary and several people have become very rich because of it. Scaring the masses and taking their money, calling it science but not pursuing a true results led approach.

Isn't it wonderful understanding what Jesus has done for us? He isn't taking our money. He isn't out to hide truth. Jesus is truth, he is life. To gain eternal life, to gain satisfaction and release of guilt, you don't need to follow a set of rules, or pay to have your sins forgiven, he accomplished it all on the cross by His works, not yours, at His expense, not yours. So what must you do to inherit eternal life, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

Think about that.
