To assume that human reason trumps God's revealed Truth--just because we, looking through the rational prism of human science, cannot see Him or prove His benificence via logic--is complete arrogance. It's the kind of pride that goeth before destruction, if you know what I mean ;)

I can think of no arrogance greater or more evil than for one person to claim that his words come directly from God. Only slightly less slimy is the claim that "revealed truth" trumps thousands of years of accumulated evidence and thought.

By the way, here's an interesting puzzle for persons who have direct access to revealed truth: Was Giordano Bruno executed (for assuming that human reason trumps God's revealed Truth) in a leap year?
