What is "science?"

One definition is:

"Science" is a conceptual communicatively-conveyed human abstraction involving investigative research and analysis of measured spatial and durational characteristics of perceived and currently-existing environmental entities resulting in changeable definitions and descriptions of such, plus speculative assumptions involving present interactions and past origins of those detected phenomena.

Time is one factor which can be used to differentiate three types of science, which are:

(1) hopefully-truthful-and-accurate factual descriptions about present characteristics of currently-observable and testable entities and processes relating to such,

(2) hopefully-truthful-and-accurate factual speculations about past characteristics and historical origins of currently-observable and testable entities and processes related to such.

(3) hopefully-truthful-and-accurate factual speculations about future characteristics of currently-observable and testable entities and processes relating to such.

There are two discrepant-against-each-other humanly-communicated verbal and/or written narratives pertaining to origins of environmental entities and processes relating to such:

1. the knowledgeable, non-adjustably stable, and sensibly-credible historical-records account of Biblical creationism, and

2. the vacillating and alterable, aberrantly-disbelievable, anti-Scriptural doubts and superstitions of [heretical] evolutionism.

It is plainly obvious to non-foolish sensible human scientists that nothing did not create everything, and that created entities did not - at nor during any extremely-brief nor extremely-lengthy time or time period (whether such time period was a nano-second or zillions of years) - create themselves by themselves of their own intention, nor at random.

Nothing has assembled nor does assemble itself or themself, no matter how little or much alleged time is associated with such purported self-assemblage, and certainly not at rarely-hit-but-mostly-miss, haphazard-chance, order-out-of-chaos happening(s).

Concerning evolution, and a generally-narrow-minded application of so-called "natural selection" and/or "survival of the fittest," various and diverse environmental factors are frequently overlooked pertaining to perceived, assumed, or presumed extinction and/or preservation of various kinds of lifeforms, particularly those lifeforms no longer existing concerning which forensic-type research is attempted.

According to the Old-Testament book of Genesis in the sacred-66-books Judeo-Christian Holy Bible (one of the many sources of information open-minded scientists have discovered and explored), it is noted that the historically-assumed persons of male-human Adam and female-human Eve were both completely naked for a while after they had been formed by God their Creator.

Had they not sinned as described in Genesis, it is logical to assume that they and their offspring would have continued on totally nude, and that the entire population of planet Earth would also be similarly non-clothed.

Weather conditions within the Garden of Eden, and globally during the period of sinlessly relating to our primal ancestral parents, might have been vastly different than it has recently been and currently is.

It is not known if Adam and Eve had the capability and/or the intention of ever venturing outside the Garden of Eden in their clothes-free state, nor is it known if environmental conditions elsewhere during that time period were different and perhaps more harsh than they were within the confines of the Garden of Eden.

It is also not known if consumption of any types of meat were possible during the time of their complete nudity in the Garden. Had there been the opportunity to acquire and ingest meat of whatever kind, it seems plausible that such meat would have had to be killed first, and thus the strange and rather repulsive phenomenon of "death" would have been evident and experienced by the innocent human couple.

A substantial number of Christians have asserted that there was no such death during that temporary period of public human nudity in the Garden of Eden, being that the act of sinful disobedience described in Genesis committed first by Eve and then by Adam initiated and thereafter perpetuated the phenomenon of death of all kinds of lifeforms across the planet.

Had the phenomenon of death never occurred - pertaining to plants, trees, fish, birds, animals, and humans - it is intriguing to imagine what the present accumulated population of all such lifeforms would be nowadays.

Perhaps there was a "silver lining" in the sinful downfall of humans Adam and Eve, in that killing animals for meat began and continued, being that many people (including yours truly) would not want to be mere vegetarians.

Not only that, but had not Adam and Eve sinned, become ashamed of their public nakedness, and concocted the idea of clothing themselves with the meager and inadequate fig-leaf coverings (concerning which the Lord concurred and even accentuated their bodily attire with garments of "skins"), exploration into the vacuum of outer space, the deep ocean, and so on might have been hindered without the protection of clothing (although it is conceivable that that clothing might not have been necessary had Adam and Eve figured out how to protect their continuously-nude bodies elsewhere and wherever other than within the Garden of Eden).

It is commonly and rightfully acknowledged that generally being sufficiently and consistently clothed when in general public view actually intensifies the eroticism of heterosexual persons when they do occasional get naked together, and certainly such nakedness is practical and useful in the processes of sexual interaction and various type of sexual intercourse without the obstruction of wearing clothes while so interacting.

If Eve and Adam had not sinned, and remained in their public nudity, it (I suppose) would have been possible for them to come together sexually now and then because of timely biological-clock instinct, and the presence of other nude heterosexual couples around them in their equally-sinless global nudist society would have been without the sexually-oriented deviant sins of fornication, adultery, and sodomy.

The desire to see especially certain other persons completely naked is yet intrinsic and engrained within all of us, which is why we selectively marry and denude each other as we do.

Relating to future heavenly capacities of redeemed and glorified saints, supposedly always clothed in white robes as described in Holy Writ, we have these fascination quotations from the Bible:

Numbers 5:18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and unbind [i.e. loosen] the hair of the woman's head, and place in her hands the cereal offering of remembrance, which is the cereal offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.

First Samuel 19:24 And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel, and lay naked all that day and all that night. Hence it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

Then they returned to Samaria.

Isaiah 14:19 but you are thrown out, away from your sepulchre, like a loathed [miscarried] birth, clothed with the slain, those pierced by the sword, who go down to the stones of the Pit, like a dead body trodden under foot.

Isaiah 20:2 ...at that time the LORD had spoken by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loose the sackcloth from your loins and take off your shoes from your feet," and he had done so, walking naked and barefoot

First Corinthians 11:4 Any man who prays or prophesies with his head shawled dishonors his head,
5 but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unshawled dishonors her head; it is the same as if her head were shaven.
6 For if a woman will not shawl herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven [or not covered with non-publicly-pornographic privately-exposed glorious long hair], let her wear a shawl.
7 For a man ought not to shawl his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
13 Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unshawled?
14 Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him,
15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a [non-bald] covering.
16 If any one intends to be contentious, we recognize no such [NOT "no other"] practice, nor do the churches of God.

Second Corinthians 5:4 For while we are still in this tent ["Tent?" Paul's frequent use of metaphors seems irritating and obnoxious, but it has some value, and so we have to bear with it], we sigh with anxiety; not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

Hebrews 4:13 And before Him no creature is hidden, but all are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

So the LORD has X-ray vision? Better than pervert purveyors at TSA airport checkpoints?
