Some people do, of course, fail to respect that the scientific method is not appropriate for all phenomena. And others (on the other end) seem to think that God is threatened by science.

Personally, I simply have never been able to conceive of God being threatened by truth. Of course, if you really take this position, then you have to be prepared for the real possibility that your understanding of certain things will change.

God cannot be threatened. Only distorted beliefs and practices can be threatened by the truth.

How can Truth be threatened by truth? And I really do take this position, and I totally agree with your "takeaway": "then you have to be prepared for the real possibility that your understanding of certain things will change."

All I know for sure is that the more I know, the more I realize how much I don't know. But this doesn't trouble me; for I'm completely happy to continue on the quest, by the light of the Holy Spirit....
