" Er, if I may, when a Christian perceives there is a conflict between God's revelation in Scripture v. Creation he must realize that the problem is his own, not God's. There is something he does not know and perhaps is prohibited from knowing." [excerpt]Ah, but the problem comes in when Creation is interpreted so that in conforms to a preconceived idea who's origin is atheistic in nature.
Truly, only those who have God's gift of "ears to hear" can hear Him. The people Jesus is addressing in the following passage were physically hearing Him (pressure, sound waves) but they could not Spiritually hear Him.
Nor should we be surprised when the atheist looks to science for authentication of his beliefs. It's the closest thing to an "authority" he has for all things physical.
After all, science accepts that it cannot measure God and proceeds under the assumption that nature is predictable and knowable (methodological naturalism.) If miracles could be reproduced in a laboratory or consistently observed, they wouldn't be called miracles.
However - a big however - I take umbrage with those atheists who use their positions of authority or credentials within the science community as a platform for their anti-God propaganda. These would include Dawkins, Pinker, Singer and Lewontin.
Those are the ones who try to intimidate the young and weak in faith. But they cannot prevail.
Marantha, Jesus!
