"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.

Very presumptuous of you.

No, it's not. If you go back and reread your post, you will see your rejection not only of what I said, but of straight, uninterpreted Scripture. That is God's word, not mine.

And taking God's word for what it actually said is anything but an insult to Him. I would rather trust His word to be true and be proven wrong when I come face to face with Him, than reject it as 'mysticism' and come face to face with Him, and find out that I had rejected the truth of the God who created me.

It would be best if you didn't use God as part of your argument against creation, since you have shown that You don't believe the Bible to be His word and infallible, and He has told us that it is. That doesn't put you in a very good position to be determining what is, or isn't an 'insult' to Him, since You have chosen not to believe what He has told us.

You are, of course, free to reject whatever you like..........God created you with your own free will...........but don't claim that you are honoring God by rejecting Scripture.

Science is your priority. You've made that very clear. But it would behoove you not to ridicule those of us who have God's word as a priority, and understand that science is man's quest for truth, and prone to great error, while God's revealed word is without error.
