American Experience - Billy Graham Documentary (2021):

https://youtu.be/PeWUFJ6g40Q

Scientism and Big Pharma

A recent ad from Pfizer begins with this shocking assertion: "At a time when things are most uncertain, we turn to the most certain thing there is - science."  Now, is that true?

Pfizer should go back to school and read books like Science is a Sacred Cow which came out in 1950.  The author was Anthony Standen (d. 1993) who went to Oxford, studied Chemical Engineering at MIT and was an assistant editor of the Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology.  Standen starts off his work with this:

No one ever doubts what is said by a scientist.  Statesmen, industrialists, ministers of religion, civic leaders, philosophers, all are questioned and criticized, but scientists - never.  Scientists are exalted beings who stand at the very topmost pinnacle of popular prestige ... [1]

Standen goes on to say this, "The idea that science is infallible and beyond criticism, is a delusion, and even a dangerous one.  ... hardly anyone is able to recognize science for what it is, the great Sacred Cow of our time." [2]

Speaking of philosophers, Pfizer should also read Mortimer Adler's Truth in Religion:  The Plurality of Religions and the Unity of Truth (1990).  Mortimer Adler (d. 2001), who wrote the popular How to Read a Book, was the chairman of the board of editors of the Encyclopedia Britannica and was the man behind the Great Books series that came out in the early 1950's.  Adler's conclusion on faith was that truth must lie in one of the three dominant world religions: Judaism, Christianity or Islam. [3]  On Judgment Day the issue will be quite clear.  Although his family background was Jewish, Adler became a committed Christian in 1984 at the age of 82.  Let us follow his example and find the true identity of the Higher Power and worship Him, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Another excellent work Pfizer should get hold of is Sacred Cows in Science - No Objectivity Allowed edited by Norbert Smith (2011).  This book challenges Deep Time, Darwinism, Materialism, extreme environmentalism and animal rights, climate change and other critical worldview issues.  Musician Dennis Jernigan, and father of nine kids, wrote the chapter "No One is Born Gay."  Jernigan points out how Big Science has changed its mind on the gender controversy:

Until 1973, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) ... after many years of protest by the pro-gay movement ... In 1973, the Board of Trustees of the APA voted to remove homosexuality as a disorder ... and thus began our slide down the slippery slope ... My belief (and experience) and my observance (having personally talked with HUNDREDS of men and women desiring to walk away from unwanted same sex attraction) is that the facts of truth do not bear witness to the current and popular conventional wisdom of this age concerning homosexuality. ... Sex is for procreation ... for making babies.  Of course, man is his wisdom, believes everything is about him and life is all about getting the most pleasure. ... We pervert our desires when we substitute something else to meet that need or when we go outside the boundaries God established for our own good. [4]  

Is true truth decided by a vote?  Let science make your waffle iron - trust Jesus and the Bible for your eternity.

... No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun.  Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning.  Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it. (Eccl. 8:17)

Recommended Books for 2016

The Reformation Heritage KJV Study Bible (2K+ pp.) is edited by Michael Barrett, Joel  Beeke and Gerald Bilkes.  This Bible takes a positive stand for Biblical creation.  Beeke is the author of What Did the Reformers Believe About the Age of the Earth?

YES - Young Earth Science provides the case for a young earth from history, philosophy, geology and biology.  This fully documented work contains over 450 footnotes and more than 130 charts, graphs and illustrations.  Although some parts are more technical, this book is for all readers with a general science background.

A number of bold authors (many with Ph.D.'s) wrote Sacred Cows in Science which deals with a number of worldview issues:  climate change, animal rights, extreme environmentalism, intelligent design, man-dino coexistence and the reality of the soul among other relevant topics.  One chapter is "Global Catastrophe and the Historicity of Noah."  Dennis Jernigan, who has recorded with Natalie Grant, Twila Paris, Ron Kenoly and Rebecca St. James, writes the chapter "No One is Born Gay."

Here we find a complete topical treatment of Proverbs and James. Smith and Hall categorize all of the proverbs and all the verses from the book of James.  If you are looking for a guided tour through the divine wisdom of Proverbs and James, you will find this volume most helpful.

Do you have a mental block for Math?  This book is for you!  Do you want to become an engineer?  You need this book.  This 190 page powerhouse has 39 chapters and includes such mind-expanding topics as limits, differentiation, chain rule, Mean Value Theorem, integration, Arc Length, Surfaces of Revolution, L’Hopital’s Rule, Hyperbolic Functions and integration by parts.

This answers the BIG question that Ben Stein focused on in his film Expelled.   Who is the Intelligent Designer?  Is it an alien as Richard Dawkins proposed?  Here is a compilation of scripture demonstrating that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the cosmos.  There are also verses on the implications of creation.  Can Intelligent Design and Darwin work together?  The meme "ID is creationism" is also dealt with.  Can anyone name the Intelligent Designer?  Anyone?  Anyone?

The Tower of Babel: The Cultural History of Our Ancestors by Bodie Hodge is a detailed study of how the major nations arose.  Hodge deals with the origin of the world's 7K languages.  He also handles the decrease in longevity in post-Flood times and the origin of writing.  Hodge challenges the view that Rapid Plate Movements (RPM's) occurred during the time of Peleg (Gen. 10:25).

Born This Way – Adam&Eve Remyx

What matters is that you love Him capital H-I-M

Just raise your hands up
'Cause born-againers sing this way

My Daddy told me when I was young

We are all born sinners
He rolled up his sleeves and got to work
On the farm and on the stairs

There's nothin' wrong with how God made you

Adam and Eve went together
Just like male and female
That’s how babies are made!

We lost our beauty, sad to say

Adam and Eve made a big mistake
You’re off the track LADY
No one’s born to be gay

Don't hide way under a net

Trust Christ – your sins he’ll forget
Turn from sin, yearn for heaven
No one’s born to be gay

Don’t ever brag – just praise the King

With the Father’s love you can begin

Believe in capital H-I-M
I love Jesus, He gives life!

No matter gay, straight or bi

Christ can transform your life
Read the Bible, know your gender
Be a Radical Scripture defender

Sacred Cows in Science is a superb work helping us form a Christian WorldView.  It covers such hot topics as climate change, Intelligent Design, reality of the soul, Global Flood, dinos etc.  Dennis Jernigan, the well-known Christian musician and worship leader has written the last chapter, “No One is Born Gay.”  The Lord delivered Dennis from a homosexual background.  Here is an excerpt:

… those who identify as homosexual are statistically at a higher risk of drug use, suicide, depression, and other emotional problems.  In addition, in the October 1999 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, research on the relationship between homosexuality and mental-health problems found that men with same-sex partners were 6.5 times as likely as their co-twin counterparts to have attempted suicide.
