You have created a Straw Man. Nobody has said that we need this investigation in order to have faith.
Everything—including scientific data—that makes the gospel more credible to more people, is to be applauded.
Those who use Straw Man arguments are intellectually dishonest. Our Lord does not need our lies, said St. Augustine. Intellectual dishonesty is lying.
I see you missed the point I was making.
So the thinking is that now we can be SURE it's true cause *science* supports it? Really?
Who are people trusting then? Man or God?
It's backwards to say that now we can be sure of God because man said so. Our confidence is in the wrong thing if we trust more in a man-made philosophical construct than the written word of God.
Interesting.
