Science doesn't say what can't happen, it tries to explain what did happen.<br /><br />Reality is reality. I'm not a Christian because someone taught it to me as a child. I'm a Christian because God came after me. I read things as a young man that I thought could only have been divine providence. At 21, I became specifically a Christian rather than a general theist because I was impressed by a man who could live with 12 other men for three years, then have 11 of them give their lives for him claiming he was the Son of God.<br /><br />When I made up my mind to become a Christian the experience was so powerful that there's not any real good way for me to explain it. I'm sure atheists write it off as psychological phenomena; it was shocking to me.<br /><br />It's been 27 years. While science has adjusted how I look at the Bible, I can't even think of a way it would affect the way I look at God or Christ. For 27 years there's been one supernatural thing after another, one answer to prayer after another.<br /><br />People like you mock and scoff. That's fine. Be arrogant and think you know what can't be.<br /><br />There's also nothing anti-science about magic. No one, as far as I know, has proven that there's real magic done by real magicians. Saying there's no evidence that you know about for magic--as there's no evidence I know about, either--is scientific enough, but to say that magic is somehow anti-science? There's nothing logical or scientific about saying such a thing.<br /><br />Things being in two places at once or communicating across long distances instantly used to be unimaginable, and thus, I suppose, would have to be called anti-science by your mindset. Now, however, it's accepted, mainline science.Paul Pavaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135622914331255065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260262501726711051.post-23821316873133106682009-12-06T13:57:16.115-08:002009-12-06T13:57:16.115-08:00I was with you all the way until you wrote "....I was with you all the way until you wrote "... it's stuff created by God ..."<br /><br />You were doing great. Why did you have to ruin your very educational article with woo-woo?<br /><br />Certainly you must realize evolution never needed any mechanism called "God's magic wand". Also, you must know all natural processes, including evolution, never needed a supernatural inventor.<br /><br />So what's the deal with this "created by the magic god fairy" stuff? Are you looking for an excuse to be a Christian? Why are you trying to stick your god-of-the-gaps in a hiding place that scientists have already chased god out of?<br /><br />Is there some switch in your head that you can turn off when you don't want to think?<br /><br />I think educated pro-science Christians like you are being dishonest with yourselves.<br /><br />You wrote "I'm a Christian that loves truth ..."<br /><br />If you really loved the truth, you would not be a Christian. Christianity is nothing more than a collection of insane childish stories that couldn't possibly be true. There is no magic in the universe, and that's what every god ever invented is, just another word for magic.<br /><br />"then evolution can and will strengthen your faith in God and in the Bible."<br /><br />Really? Even Genesis? No matter how you interpret Genesis, it's still nothing more than a story of magical creation, and nothing could be more anti-science than magic.<br /><br />I shall return. I'm interested in how you can justify your acceptance of science and at the same time accept an extremely anti-science religion. For example, there could be no belief more anti-science than the Resurrection, which is a belief in a zombie who flew up to the clouds, and all Christians are required to believe in this disgusting woo-woo.Human Apehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936967193312505472noreply@blogger.com
