1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

I'm seeing a
whole bunch of translations that don't use the word "science". My guess is that whoever wrote Timothy really didn't have science in mind at all...
