Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.


In his essay Qms:Should Christadelphians reject the sciences? brother Alan Eyre applies this verse to the pseudoscientific speculations of "creation scientists", expressing concern about the support for YEC found in articles published in The Christadelphian Magazine during 2014 and 2015:

". . .  My concern is the cavalier and dismissive treatment by the authors of the work of scientists and the “verifiable facts” with which we deal, especially in the sciences in which I have some claim to long experience and expertise. We are not all gullibly accepting anti-religious dogmas in our interpretations. We have listened carefully, for years, to the crackpot notions (forgive the term, but it is justified) of some creation “scientists” who do not engage in any valid observational science at all, but are simply literalist biblical scholars (at best). We have had to reject their stories as invented “myths” (1 Timothy 1:4).
