Here’s a question to test your general knowledge. What was the name of the world’s highest peak before Mount Everest was discovered? Do you know? Of course you do. It was Mount Everest. It was the world’s highest mountain even before we found it. What we once thought was the highest peak, wasn't. New knowledge changed our beliefs. It’s because of this principle that science can never be absolutely certain of anything. It can only believe something according to the knowledge it has at present. And even when it gets more knowledge, it still can’t be absolutely certain it has the truth, because future information may refute what they think they know to be true. What science believes now may be laughed at in 100 years time. Some think that’s a good thing, because it shows that science is forever open to change. The only good thing about it, is that is shows us where we should put our trust. God alone speaks absolute truth, because He has absolute knowledge. Science can never say that something is a "fact." God can and does. That’s why we can have absolute trust about anything He says in His Word. It’s as solid as a rock (solider, if there's such a word). Those that trust in Him need never be disappointed, disillusioned, or discouraged. And that’s a fact.
