I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.  I Corinthians 1:19

Let no man deceive himself.  If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise.  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God.  For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness"; and again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless."  I Corinthians 3:18 - 19

"In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight." Luke 10:21.

The world uses science, logic, and mathematics to argue that the Bible is wrong.  We also use the scientific system to fight back, but it has not brought us victory.  Why have we achieved so little with all our efforts?  We have used the wisdom of the world to fight the world.  That cannot bring victory because their wisdom is false.  God is catching the wise in their own craftiness.  He uses their own wisdom to defeat them.  The Bible has a simple triumphant answer to the scientific system.

The biblical answer is an idea Peter predicted almost two thousand years ago. This idea is the historical presupposition for the scientific system. This assumption is the foundation for the entire structure of scientific reasoning.   Most of us are unaware of this assumption because we are trained in school to hold it as self-evident. Various biblical passages contradict this little idea directly and indirectly. The simple evidence clearly shows that all matter changes relationally as it ages.  (Every atom in distant galaxies beats a different tempo than local atoms. Billions of galactic orbits defy the laws of physics.) God, without using any deception, and in full conformity with His Word, even defeats mathematics and logic so that simple faith in Jesus alone will triumph. "but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory;"  I Corinthians 2:7

Who is Victor McAllister?  I am not an academic.  I have no degrees.  What gives me the right to claim that the scientific system is based on a false first principle?  Do I have a right to interpret the Bible with grammar, in its historical context, or must I tailor it to fit our science?  My claim is that if I interpret it with the historical-grammatical approach, there is a simple answer to the conflict between science and the biblical text.  The answer involves the first principle of science.  God will get great glory and honor when He defeats the pride of man and their mighty fortresses of scientific reasoning.  He expects us to do battle with the most powerful weapon ever forged, God's unchanging Word.  "We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God"  II Corinthians 10:5.
