There is really a lot to be said for speaking where the bible speaks, and being silent where it is silent. Anything beyond this comes from...well, you know.

Scientific observation? ;)

Well put!

Although I (a physical chemist) am a strong believer in creation (of everthing in this amazingly extensive universe) by Almighty God, I am insulted by statements like, "There is really a lot to be said for speaking where the bible speaks, and being silent where it is silent. Anything beyond this comes from...well, you know."

That statement is closely akin to saying, "The Bible doesn't describe subatomic physics, so studying it must be a Satanic act."

It was God the Creator who gave us an extremely brief (but accurate) outline of His mighty works in Genesis. And it was that same God (not Satan) who gave us brains so we can strive to understand (and be awed by) the inticate evidence He left of His mighty works of creation.

There is a monstrous difference between faith and self-imposed ignorance.
