I did not assert, and in fact have directly maintained, that human beings may from general revelation, as the Greek philosophers often did, come to insights and partial truths about ethics, science, etc.

Greek 'science' never went anywhere because of the essential limitations of man's reasoning apart from the special revelation of Scripture.

You refuse to live consistently with your irrational worldview and resist reasoning consistently with your agnosticism (I don't blame you). You haven't accounted for your use of moral categories or reason or the uniformity of natural law in a world uncreated and ungoverned by a Super Intelligence/Intelligent Designer. I'll leave my comments to stand.

ERRRR. Wrong. Greek science never went anywhere because mysticism came to dominate Greek society. Mysticism of the Pythagoreans, who tried to suppress knowledge of the dodecahedron, and who influenced Plato and his "Shadows on a cave wall" view of the world, who so inlfuenced early Christianity.

Sad. You should try to educate yourself.
