If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? (Albert Einstein)
Thinking about the musings from DAY 87: The Scientific Revolution – Part 3 – What Missing Link? – Conclusion....
I would submit to you that one thing that is consistent regarding humans and science, is its inconsistency. I would further submit to you that it is in this scientific inconsistency brought on by humans, that scientific consistency can eventually be found.
You just need to know where to look.
I have already submitted to you the scientific inconsistencies discovered by humans in the field of astronomy here:
Day 67: The Scientific Revolution – Part 1 – Ptolemy.;
Day 68: The Scientific Revolution – Part 1 – Ptolemy And The Catholic Church.;
Day 69: The Scientific Revolution – Part 1 – Copernicus To Newton.;
Day 72: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – Einstein And The Theory Of Relativity.;
Day 73: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – Einstein Vs. Newton. and;
DAY 85: The Scientific Revolution – Part 3 – E = mc2 +/- 1.
And I have also already submitted to you further scientific inconsistencies discovered by humans in the field of biology:
Day 74: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – Darwin.;
DAY 75: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – Erasmus And Charles Darwin.;
DAY 76: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – What Did Darwin Really Think?;
DAY 78: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, Do All Scientists Agree?;
DAY 79: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, Is The Science Really Settled?;
DAY 80: The Scientific Revolution – Part 2 – The Theory Of Evolution, 12 More Questions.;
DAY 86: The Scientific Revolution – Part 3 – What Missing Link? and;
DAY 87: The Scientific Revolution – Part 3 – What Missing Link? – Conclusion.
I would further submit to you that there are other branches of science that also have scientific inconsistencies discovered by humans as well. However, I will not expand upon these potential scientific inconsistencies due to the fact that I do not cover them directly in my AP World History or AP European History classes with my students.
The reason for this is simple for two reasons:
1) The Scientific Revolution needs to be covered from a historical perspective because after all;
2) AP World History and AP European History are history, not science classes, and the Scientific Revolution is one of dozens of topics that I must cover with my students over the semester.
So, in an effort to remain both consistent and focused, I will remain, at least for now, within the scientific fields of astronomy and biology.
In:
DAY 88: Science…Fact Or Fiction?,
I brought up both a very simple question and a very simple claim regarding how to solve these scientific inconsistencies in both biology and astronomy:
Is there any place where the science doesn’t change?
There is…
And where is this place where science doesn’t change?
That will be covered next time.
Well, right now, that ‘next time’, is here.
So, what is the answer?
I would submit to you that the answer is the Holy Bible.
I would further submit to you that not only does the Holy Bible provide scientific consistency for both biology and astronomy, the Holy Bible also provides scientific consistency for 6 other branches of science as well.
So, what exactly are these scientific consistencies that are to be found in the Holy Bible?
That will be covered next time.
Do not feel discouraged if you still are frustrated with the scientific inconsistencies regarding both astronomy and biology. Do not feel discouraged if you do not believe that consistency cannot possibly be found in the Holy Bible. Instead, understand that moving forward, the knowledge gained will help you to realize that scientific consistency will eventually be found.

Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading DAY 88: Science…Fact Or Fiction?
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
Please feel free to go back to where all of this began:
