If I remember back that far, university was spent A/ listening to some tenured person talking on and on about other peoples studies, findings, research, opinions and conclusions, in some lecture hall with 100 or so other empty minds looking to be filled with knowledge. And B/ spending hours on end leafing through reams of books and texts, reading about other people's research and conclusions. And C/ time in a lab of some sort, doing simple test work and lab activities that supposedly backed up said lectures and writings.
The problem with this is.........it leaves the paying student open to be filled with truth mixed with half truth and lies of the academic monster with no time to have it validated.
Universities and other institutions around the world pour all of this information into waiting and open minds of all of the students.
These students then study and memorize this information ad nauseum during sleepless nights in a caffeine induced state of alertness so they can regurgitate said "truth" and "facts" on a piece of paper in order to earn their degree.
The thing is, 99.9 percent of all the gunk that a kid gets crammed into their head during post secondary education is never ever checked by the student themselves to test to see if it is, in fact, truth.
All over the world, kids pay to be force fed data, that is repeated back. Nowhere is the truth questioned.
This is the information machine that cranks out hundreds of thousands of students who have heads swelled with what they believe to be truth. Thing is, they have no way to filter out the real truth from the lies.
They believe that "it must be true because they could not teach it if it wasn't"
This creates an epidemic of false understanding and a perfect tool in which to mold the children and future leaders of this world with nothing more than false truth.
This is why evolution is take for such a solid doctrine. The masses are infused with it, the masses perpetuate it, the academic powers refuse to allow anything but this be taught. Then the masses ridicule any other explanation.
This is the tool of the enemy and millions of people believe without even questioning what they are hearing.
What an impressive amount of evidence you've provided to back up your assertions! Well shoot, it sure is a good thing that the vast,
vast majority of PhD biologists, geologists, physicists, chemists, <insert any more fields you think have some sort of global, century-long conspiracy to hide the truth> stay in academia after they've finished their degrees, never do any experiments or expeditions while in academia, never go out to do any science of their own, and certainly avoid research that can test and potentially prove the leading hypotheses wrong or the creationist PRATTs correct.
Wait, hold on, I'm being informed that's not what happens at all. Also the guy who informed me seemed to have a bit of a nasty temper about the issue. Rather, many of these people spend an awful lot of time working in the field, applying what they've learned to do things like, say,
discover oil.
http://ageofrocks.org/2015/02/08/can-young-earth-creationists-find-oil/
Every major oil company employs kinetic models in their search for hydrocarbons, based on the techniques that I have described above. Since these models assume that we correctly know the age of rocks and their temperature history, petroleum exploration provides us with millions of ongoing scientific tests, which collectively could disprove the conventional geologic timescale and confirm the young-Earth paradigm.
Of course, they don’t.
Instead, the widespread success of oil and gas exploration is perhaps the greatest testament to the accuracy of our age estimates. If the geologic column were created within the past 6,000 years, then no oil or gas should be found today, for the same reason you can’t make a medium-rare pot roast in only 30 seconds. By asserting that the age of rocks is somehow irrelevant to exploration techniques, Dr. Snelling has essentially told every cook to throw out their timers. But I think you all know better than this, and for that matter, so does Andrew Snelling.
Or help treat deadly diseases:
Or find out more about our planet. The fact of the matter is that if your conspiracy theory (and it's up there with the "aliens did 9/11" folks, make no mistake) held up,
we would not see useful results from the science. But we do. I mean, what do you expect? Science is typically results-driven. In fact, it's exactly this kind of work in the field that led Glenn Morton to realize that
young earth creationism was intellectually bankrupt, and very nearly led him to abandon his faith altogether. But of course, the reason why every university in the world teaches this stuff and not a single one uses ICR as a source is because they're all just anti-Christian. Riiiiight.
