To help people understand the different ways the word science is used, I wanted to make sure I taught them how to think-and not just what to think-about this topic. I made sure people understood that science meant “knowledge.” That’s why when I debated Bill Nye “the Science Guy” in 2014 at the Creation Museum (you can see that debate on the Answers in Genesis YouTube channel or on Answers TV), I said the first thing we needed to do was define our terms. But then, secular scientists studying the supposed evolution of life-when they weren’t there to see it happen-also call that “science.” For instance, when people talk about doing chemistry experiments or studying cells under a microscope in biology, they will say they are studying science. Now, words can be used in different ways. In other words, the actual meaning of the word science is knowledge. It is derived from the classical Latin scientia, meaning “to know.” The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines it as “the state of knowing: knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding.” Well, first of all, we need to understand what the word science means. (1 Peter 1:25) The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. “But the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you. In fact, there are many verses of Scripture to tell us that God’s infallible Word, unlike man’s fallible word, lasts forever. The Bible itself states, “Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens” (Psalm 119:89).
I said, “Well, I’m glad the Bible is not a science textbook like the ones they use in school, because those textbooks basically change each year.
