Many people think that science is neutral—that scientists just follow the evidence where it leads them. But the process of science isn’t neutral.

You see, what you believe about the past determines how you interpret the evidence. For example, what you believe about how old the earth is . . . and how life got here . . . will influence how you view the evidence. It will affect your conclusions.
