What we are seeing during this pandemic is we are seeing the fallout of decades of telling people of faith that scientists are not to be trusted.

0:14.5

That scientists will tell you things that are wrong just because they don't want you to believe the Bible, that they will

0:23.5

tell you things, that they will hide, for example, evidence for creation from you because

0:29.7

they don't want you to believe in God.

0:32.3

And so for decades, we have been telling people of faith that scientists are not to be trusted, that scientists will

2:06.4

and that the same exact science is telling us that the earth is old

2:12.3

and that all of life is related.

A universe we don't know, but I think the Welcome Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast.

2:51.8

I'm your host, John Williamson, and we're back this week with an actual scientist.

2:56.6
