Oops something went wrong. Most of what I wrote didn’t get posted.
What originally prompted me to respond was the notion that science needs to somehow adjust itself to faith. I believe that science deals with objective facts and faith deals with feelings or what we want to believe. By definition faith is above reason. At least that is the way I see it. I have never responded to postings on religion because I know that my views are antithetical to many here but that statement really struck a nerve with me. I don’t claim to be an expert in the bible or theology and I know it is useless to argue with faith. I only meant to respond to this notion that science, which deals with objective reality is changeable while faith is not.
Here's the problem; faith isn't about feelings or what we want to believe, it's about what we know to be true even if we don't see it immediately. You said so yourself when you said that you "believe that science deals with objective facts". You have faith that science deals with objective facts, but that faith is based in reality and not just feelings or what you want to believe.
The Christian Faith is the same thing; we know these things to be true because the same One who bore witness to them also bore witness to other events which have proven to be true. While there's a lot that we don't know yet, we do know the character of the One who reported the facts to us, so we can have faith in His truthfulness.
