By now it's probably been forgotten, but I'd really appreciate a response to post 2175, reproduced below:

What about when religion gives one answer- clearly- and science disagrees? Ultimately, it is an issue of final authority.

Yes! That is precisely the issue! I assume you agree that the answers of science are just fine -- but only scientifically. So at that point it's a question of your personal ranking of information.

Science is far from infallible, and Darwinistic science has no foundation for answers about life (not the biological mechanisms, the rest of life)because it has no foundation for such having thrown out the supernatural.

So at that point it's a question of your personal ranking of information.
No, it is a matter of God's truth. It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, truth is truth. There are indeed ABSOLUTES in the world, and God set them up. If I want life to go well, I will live by His standards. If not, I can choose not to but that does not change the truth. I may believe that I can jump off a building and that gravity will not be real and I'll float to the ground- but that doesn't change the truth. The TRUTH belongs to God, and all truth is His truth. Some of it, He has revealed in Scripture to us. Some of it, will be seen in the afterlife. But all Truth is true truth and all truth is God's truth.
