Observational vs. Historical

This week we’re looking at what to do when you hear a scientific challenge to your faith. Well, first consider what kind of science it is.

You see, there’s two kinds. “Observational” science is directly testable, observable, and repeatable. It’s this science that makes technology and medical innovations.

But “historical science” is not directly testable, observable, and repeatable. It’s an interpretation of the past, based on your starting point: evolution or creation.

So, when you’re challenged with something, consider what’s the observational science and what’s the historical science. That allows you to separate evolutionary interpretations from facts.
