"For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks , Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence." Sarah, someone said earlier, "To study science, is to study God." Being a professional scientist, I am not exactly sitting in a cave and grunting. There is no conflict between God and science. He is the very author of every scientific discipline. The more we learn about the natural world, the more we learn about God and His creativity.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
This is usually quoted by the time you get to Post # 15 in a CvE thread, but it is still true.

Sarah, someone said earlier, "To study science, is to study God." Being a professional scientist, I am not exactly sitting in a cave and grunting. There is no conflict between God and science. He is the very author of every scientific discipline. The more we learn about the natural world, the more we learn about God and His creativity. I'm not saying that the people who believe in God are sitting in a cave and grunting. I am currently debating the existence of God in my mind as far as whether or not religion is just a concept created in the minds of humans to comfort us lest we be faced with the harsh reality that there is no purpose. If that is your belief, so be it. I'm not trying to discredit God. If anything, I think it's a good progressive belief to believe that God works through science. Which is why I don't understand the arguments against evolution. There may be certain people who say that evolution means there is no God, but that is simply an opinion. And I feel free to state my opinion here.
