Creationists can indeed be real scientists. And this shouldn’t be surprising, since the very basis for scientific research is biblical creation. This is not to say that noncreationists cannot be scientists. But, in a way, an evolutionist is being inconsistent when he or she does science. The big bang supporter claims the universe is a random chance event, and yet he or she studies it as if it were logical and orderly. The evolutionist is thus forced to borrow certain creationist principles in order to do science. The universe is logical and orderly because its Creator is logical and has imposed order on the universe. God created our minds and gave us the ability and curiosity to study the universe. Furthermore, we can trust that the universe will obey the same physics tomorrow as it does today because God is consistent. This is why science is possible. On the other hand, if the universe is just an accidental product of a big bang, why should it be orderly? Why should there be laws of nature if there is no lawgiver? If our brains are the byproducts of random chance, why should we trust that their conclusions are accurate? But if our minds have been designed, and if the universe has been constructed by God, as the Bible teaches, then of course we should be able to study nature. Science is possible because the Bible is true.
I have been trying to find something which links Science and the Bible and God. It started over dinner yesterday evening, Daddy and I were having a casual talk about the different blood types. Suddenly I thought about something: If God only created Adam and Eve at the beginning, how come there are 4 blood types today?
And so, we joked around and said that when we get to heaven next time, we would have many scientific questions to ask God, like questions on the Big Bang or whether the earth is really billions of years old, etc…
But being the engineer at heart (or scientist, or perhaps the nerdette at heart), the blood type question kept popping up in my mind. How can 2 people’s blood types create 4 different blood types?
And so, the power of Google!
And I discovered this really cool site – www.answersingenesis.org
And I found out the answer to my Adam and Eve question! It can be found here.
I am glad to find this site, cos it’s really an interesting read and here are some interesting stuff I have read so far:
1. Big Bang?
2. What’s the ‘best proof’ of creation?
3. What Really Happened to Dinosaurs? (one of my favs!)
Maybe I’m quite scientific at heart, so thats why I’m so excited to read such articles.
Haha…
Oh well, will share more interesting stuff soon.

Have you considered signing the Creation Letter [http://kcsg.wordpress.com]
Check it out! I think the ‘Year of Darwin’ requires a response.

Ah, how can 2 people’s blood create 4 different blood type? That’s simple…its genes, and they have the ability to influence (1) or not (0)
so with 2 factors, you can get for combination: 00, 01, 10 and 11 =D
That’s nerd lingo for you
