Evidence for evolutionary creationism

I know enough about radiometric dating to know it is a flawed procedure that is governed more by the analysts worldview than it is by empirical science.

You may know how to run equipment well, but you rather belie yourself with respect to understanding how science works.

Science is like plumbing – there’s no such thing as ‘secular plumbing’ nor is there any such thing as ‘secular science’. The latter is something that doctrinaire YECs pretend and believe exists. Christians as well as unbelievers may conflate philosophical naturalism and methodological naturalism, the latter being science, but devoted and honest believers can stand side by side with unbelievers and do the same science.

I wonder if you’ve seen this – it’s a very cool account of Christians and unbelievers doing good science together (at remote distances) [and getting the science wrong]:

A Wrinkle Occurred | The Nature of Science with Larry Molnar

Larry Molnar spent years with his astronomy students studying a contact binary star system. Their observations and data eventually led them to make the claim that the stars were headed toward an explosion called a luminous red nova, a major discovery. The story of these stars and of the scientists who study them highlight the ways that science leads to knowledge about the world, and not always in straightforward ways. Have you heard his story before?
