Many people think science is neutral. A scientist just follows the evidence where it leads. But science isn’t neutral.

What you believe about the past determines how you interpret the evidence. For example, what you believe about how old the earth is or how life got here will influence how you view the evidence and your conclusions.

As biblical creationists, we start with God’s Word and interpret the evidence through that lens.

But evolutionists also have a starting point—millions of years and evolution. No one approaches the evidence from a neutral point. We all have starting assumptions that influence our interpretation.
