You are not rejecting me, sir. You are rejecting the God who created you, and His word.
He is the God of ultimate, eternal Reason, and Truth.
And ironically, we are all dependent on Him for our (limited) ability to reason. The only understanding we have of His universe is His gift to us, and yet some of us choose to use that gift to reject Him with.
Be careful of arrogance that depends on human frailty and flawed reasoning as its source, while denying a Holy, Sovereign, Omniscient and Just God.

"You are not rejecting me, sir."
I am rejecting your argument.
"You are rejecting the God who created you, and His word."
Very presumptuous of you.
"And ironically, we are all dependent on Him for our (limited) ability to reason. The only understanding we have of His universe is His gift to us, and yet some of us choose to use that gift to reject Him with."
We are attempting to understand the world we live in. The only way to do that is to use rational, objective means; to use our reason. I do not reject God's gift (the universe); I accept it for what it is. Creationists have abandoned that world for mystical subjectivism. THAT is an insult to God.
"Be careful of arrogance that depends on human frailty and flawed reasoning as its source,..."
That's why I steer clear of Creationism and instead embrace the awe that results from the regularity of the universe. Scientific investigation is a search for the WORD.
