How do you explain that science is at odds with the Bible’s account of creation?

It isn’t

Creation is the idea that a powerful intelligence, God, created everything supernaturally

True science supports the Bible’s account of creation

-- there are many scientific evidences to support creation

fine tuning …

imagine you walk into an electronics store and every TV is tuned to the same station … coincidence? No – plan and purpose of an intelligent person

information theory …

you just read a good book …

[just list others] law of biogenesis, fossils, polonium halos

Evolution is the idea that natural processes, without plan or purpose, assembled the universe and life

-- there are many scientific evidences which argue against the idea of evolution

laws of thermodynamics (explain)

[just list others] nonhomogeneous nature of the universe, irreducible complexity in living things, unique nature of human beings, etc

C and E are both science of origins

to understand the great debate between creation and evolution, consider …

we are investigating the past, not the present

court of law analogy

everyone has the same evidence – difference is the interpretation

interpretations depend upon a worldview

-- many historical scientists who accepted God’s Word on creation

Boyle – founder of modern Chemistry

Kepler – Lutheran astronomer who provided evidence for Copernican model

Newton – greatest of all time

Pasteur – inventor of vaccinations

The Bible isn’t at odds with true science; it is at odds with sinful humans who reject the creator, that is Jesus Christ, and want to worship the creature instead (Romans 1:25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.)
