God doesn't change, but people do. We have patterns of inquiry, burning questions to be answered (well, burning to us), ways of thinking and particular world views. To assert that the ancient Jews share our modern obsession with the workings of the physical world is absurd.

And no, I am quite conservative in my theology. So conservative, in fact, that I accept the answers found in the Bible to the questions of who is God and what is my relationship to Him. I just don't think the Bible answers questions about how God actually made all of this happen.

Do people really change? In what way? Have they ceased to have a fallen nature? After all, isn't that what new feel-good theology wants us to believe?

I don't assert that the Jewish people believe anything, as I have no way of knowing other than what I read, yet surely some still believe in the Torah. And that sacred Word has not changed in 6000 years.

That Word tells how and why God created the Creation. Whether you believe it or not, is of course your perogative, but I do believe it, and I know why I believe it. Unfortunately, because of that, and that alone, I am attacked all the day long by others who find this belief, intolerable.
