No apology needed, I took no offense. As a matter of fact, it was and is very nice to hear another who shares my view.
It seems to be the only rational, honest, self consistent position. If one chooses to believe in the existence of God, if one has faith, what else of import is there? Needing proof, or presuming to apprehend the infinite, is entirely inconsistent with religious faith.
As a person employed in engineering, applied science as it were, I enjoy tremendously the endless fascination of the exploration of the natural world. Perhaps one day a scientist will actually find the creator staring back at him or her, such a day that would be! I just dont try to inject transcendental meaning to physical studies, it is a meaningless debate.
All of the posturing of the goulds and creationists of the world are as uncomprehending apes before the infinite, both sides presume knowledge they can not possiby have but through faith.
The creationists have faith in God, but exceed the boundries of human knowledge and presume to know through what means God brought creation into being. Honest, but not self consistent.
The goulds of he world, however, are even more laughably luxuriant in their simian ignorance, for they can not even countenance their non belief in God as religious faith, thus failing both self consistency and integrity.
The above statement is absolutely false even though it is endlessly repeated by evolutionists. Christians do not "presume" to know how God brought about creation, they just take the Lord at his Word - the Bible.
How can you call yourself a Christian if you reject the Bible, the Word of God?
