A thought:

Science as we know and understand the forces at work and the data that we have FOR NOW.

and faith in Christ Jesus and the Word of God as we know and understand the deeper things to be revealed as we grow.

There used to be wall poster by Argus years ago:

It said....All I have seen brings me to trust God for all I have not seen.

There is no need to jettison in impatience the beliefs one holds simply because FOR NOW the pieces don't seem to fit.

To quote a character from "Return to Snowy River"

"It doesn't have to be a choice."

Patience Patience Patience. Ah but our culture and us as individuals want it now, and desperately want things to fit. We are, at our root, impatient.


There was a time as recently as less than a hundred years ago that archaelogy had no record of some of the towns and cities mentioned in the Book of Genesis.

Many evos and athiests pointed and said SEE...NOT REAL.

Since then, many towns and cities have been unearthed to prove the earlier chapters of Genesis true.

Humph!!!...said the athiest...but if he or she were honest their reaction should have been Hmmmm...what do I do with that?

Lastly, I have a ministry tape that is well over 20 years old from a counseling training session I attended. A absolutely lovable Texan man related a plane trip.

A lawyer passenger pointed out to my Texan friend, "How can you believe in a Jesus who talks about the four corners of the earth when He is supposed to have created it? The earth is round."

My texan friend said good question. Over the next year he investigated this for his own honesty and integrity. He indicated that science tells us that the firmament or non-water portions of the earth...if one stands in Israel...one would actually and generally move out to the four highest points on the earth.

He got back with this athiest lawyer and related the data. He said it was a brief conversation.

Trust the Creator for all that we don't know...that in His time He will make all things known and understandable. Be patient.

I was patient. It took me longer than some, but I finally figured it out that God doesn't exist. I've never seen Him, never heard Him, never experienced Him, except in my vivid imagination brought on by emotional presentations.

Once you understand this, there's no going back. Once you see how the magic works, you will always see the trick to it.
