“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?" - Jesus (Matthew 23:33)

"If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: 'A dog returns to its vomit,' and, 'A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.'” Peter (2 Peter 2:20-22 quoting Proverbs 26:11)

A message can sound true just because its source looks authoritative. Some famous experiments in the 60’s showed just how psychologically powerful authority is, revealing that over two thirds of normal adults will unwillingly hurt someone just because an authority figure says to. Knowing how persuasive authority can be reminds us that God, not man, must be our authority.

“Evolution is supported by an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence.” At least, that’s what a first-year biology textbook said, citing natural selection in soapberry bugs as the first example of such evidence. Let’s apply the 7 Checks of Critical Thinking to see whether this claim is true.

Then Job answered and said:

    “Truly I know that it is so:

          But how can a man be in the right before God?

     If one wished to contend with Him,

          one could not answer Him once in a thousand times.

     He is wise in heart and mighty in strength

          —who has hardened himself against Him, and succeeded?—

     He who removes mountains, and they know it not,

          when He overturns them in his anger,

False teachers often reinterpret God’s Word to fit their own human ideas. But this isn’t just bad theology—it’s bad logic. Proper teaching about the Bible is based on deductive reasoning, where we view God’s Word as our big picture of truth and draw our ideas FROM it. That’s exegesis. But false teachers often inductively build their own theologies, which is eisegesis. Here’s how to spot the difference.

Can science really “prove” things? To find out, let’s look at the difference between two types of reasoning. Deductive reasoning starts with a known ‘big picture’ of reality and draws little bits of information from it. Inductive reasoning, however, starts with little bits of information and tries to guess how they fit together. Science is inductive, so is a logically fallacious starting point for “truth.”
