Frameworks and Radon

One of the most popular arguments used by Catholic theistic evolutionists and progressive creationists against the traditional doctrine of creation hinges on the alleged “overwhelming evidence” that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. In this newsletter I would like to invite you to ponder an analogy that has helped many people to see that one's answer to the age question, like one's answer to the evolution question, hinges on the framework within which he views the empirical evidence—and not on some self-evident interpretation of the empirical data. I would then like to give a striking example of how the refusal of evolution-believing natural scientists to face facts that invalidate the evolutionary hypothesis corrupts their scientific and medical research, often with fatal consequences for the public they are supposed to serve.
