Christians researching any area of the created world need to continually interact with the relevant scientific research and assess the work and their position in the light of the outcomes.

Is there an alternative interpretation of the results? Do they harmonise with Scripture — or our interpretation of it? If not, why not? This obviously affects the matter of origins, whether we hold to a position of ‘special creation’ or ‘theistic evolution’.

Like the evolutionists, creationists recognise the value of the empirical science (and are often engaged in such research). In fact, this is a scriptural imperative for them. The obvious example of this is given by Paul in Romans 1.20. Indeed, Paul goes on to point out the danger of ignoring this, which is frequently described as general revelation.
