Very sadly, though, the fraud has hit deeply into the Christian world over the years. Consider the case of Piltdown Man, discovered in England in 1912. After carefully considering the discovery, all of the scientists involved proudly claimed that
Darwin had now been proved accurate - this was indeed an "ape-man" skull. Many Christians at the time doubted it, as did many scientists. However, several years later, not too far away, more very similar bones were found, and the science world went nuts! Here was more "proof".
Christians who had always believed that the biblical count was
true and accurate as it is written began to abandon it in droves, considering that the Genesis account was simply an allegory. There were a few, however, who still clung to the hope that it was a fraud ~ which it in fact turned out to be! All of it! Even the second discovery.
The Bible was written for you and me, the common person, to be
understood. It doesn't need scientists or degreed people, or people with "special knowledge" to interpret it for us. Its language is clear and plain! And it was meant to be so! It has always proved accurate and true, and always will be!
So, cling to it. No matter what the "science" world says.
