It's an indented quote. I assumed that freepers would recognize Aquinas.
But recognizing it or not, it still should be cited. I've seen more than enough creationists chastised for that very thing by evos often enough.
Scripture will always be subject to the ridicule of believers, whether it conforms to the current fashion in thinking or not. By demanding that it conform to men's whims instead of being the standard against which human thought should be measured, it's rendered impotent and useless.
The Cross of Christ is an offense to the world and adjusting Scripture to make it more palatable so that it doesn't offend anyone will make it ineffective in dealing with man's most basic need, that of forgiveness.
The only obstacle to men's believing is their will. They don't believe because they choose not to believe, not because they can't believe. The idea that men can't believe because of the actions of believers is merely an excuse to justify their rejection of the Bible.
Unacceptable behavior in any form on the part of the believer does not invalidate the message God presents in the Bible nor does it absolve the unbeliever from any responsibility in responding to it. The message stands independent of any individual. It's valid and true because God is faithful and true, not because men are faithful and true (which they often aren't)
1 Corinthians 1:21-23
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
The stumbling block is Christ crucified, not a believer's views on science.
