Unless it's on the test, right?
Then you'd better answer correctly, or else.
In addition, what are the chances of getting a job in a scientific setting?
May I ask what your area of science is in?
Yep it’s rough going through post graduate work as a believer in Genesis but it can be done. I studied the DNA of bacteria viruses and rats. Everyone around me believed in evolution, but it is not required to understand the structure of DNA, RNA or anything else in biology.
I studied medicine and human biology and the going fad is evidence based medicine. What I found was that evolution is a narrative, not a valid scientific discipline. Of course they scoffed at me and some resorted to anger, but no one could give and evidence based explanation of evolution . It became an exercise in human imagination with no data to back it up
We creationists were made to look like fools but I accepted the humiliation and got my MD degree anyway. I don’t have the prestige and I work for a lesser salary than some of my colleagues, because of my Catholic faith, but the Lord has guided me to the right path.
As I study science more, I read evolutionary literature and it reads like a comic book. There is all flash and show about the story, but fast and loose with the facts. For instance they say chimp and humans are 98.2% identical, but they don’t tell you that is the content of total DNA not the actual structure of the chromosomes, and that 1.8% still represents 35 million base pair differences. They tell you chimps and humans have a common ancestor but they can’t show you what it looks like, they ask you to imagine it, using peer pressure, crowd psychology, and embarrassment. That is not science, that is thought control. They don’t show you how a primate evolved into a chimp and a human, they just tell you it did. When you show them that their data has logical flaws they become insulted instead of instructive.
Yes it’s rough being a creationist in science, but it can be done.
I watched the story of Dock Ellis, a black baseball player that pitched in the 1960s and 70s, when there was segregation and white still used the N word. Dock was a racial pioneer, but his fellow players told him Dock, you are going to be called things you have never heard of, and treated in the most unfair, inhuman ways, but you can’t cry or yell about it or feel sorry for yourself. This is baseball, and when you step through those white lines, you better win. It was a very inspiring story.
I am not as great a man as Dock, but I took his attitude. So they don’t like creationists, but I do my job and I do it well. There are scientists greater than me that are working on the evidence and exposing evolution for the impossible fairy tale that it is. They gaslight the creationists for now, but have patience and stay strong, the truth will set them running soon enough.
For further reading, check out the Grandeur of God available on Amazon, or the Kolbe institute’s foundations restored or How the World was made in 6 days. Genesis is more scientific and leads to a more stable model consistent with the data, than Big Bang/Evolution narrative. Dig through the stories they are telling and look at the facts, all the evolution stories we are told in grade school are now shown to be frauds, yet they are still taught as truth to kids.
