Faith Well Grounded

"The problem with Christianity is not that it has been tried and found wanting, but that it has been found difficult, and left untried." -- G. K. Chesterton

I pray that he would give you, according to his glorious riches, strength in your inner being and power through his Spirit, and that Christ would make his home in your hearts through faith. Then, having been rooted and grounded in love, you will be able to understand, along with all the saints, what is wide, long, high, and deep- that is, you will know the love of Christ, which goes far beyond knowledge, and will be filled with all the fullness of God.

I’ve written quite a bit heretofore about modern science and naturalism’s failures to either recognize or admit to the implications of the modern scientific support for various arguments for God—specifically the cosmological and teleological arguments for God. With the implications of modern science, it is a good time to be a Christian apologist and/or philosopher.

I think it important to take science back to the invariable root question of cosmology, especially since this root question is at the heart of what makes science possible. Science is the process of finding out “what is the cause of the effect I am studying?” The Laws of Causation are the very foundation of our scientific methodology. If we throw away the ideal that every cause needs a sufficient effect, then we have thrown away the ability to apply the scientific discipline.

I've been musing on my blog posts of late, and it's fairly obvious through interaction and comments (thanks to e-dogg for his interaction) that I've been on a tangent that misrepresents my original intent in many of my posts. My posts on scientific matters pretty much began here. It was a comparison of the faith inherent in both science and apologetics/Christianity. Those that followed were interested in pointing out the faith involved with science.

Space rocks...

I'm often asked if I'm a creationist. And I'm always surprized by the question. I'll clarify. If you are talking to a Christian, you are talking to a creationist. Every Christian should believe that God created everything.

But the term "creationist" seems to have been exclusively attached to "recent-creationists", or "young-Earth-creationists". There is the possibility that God created the Universe eons ago, and then created Adam intact as a mature human. It's not just a question of evolution vs. a young Earth.

I won't spend a lot of time commenting on this, because hopefully the content should speak for itself. The embedded video of Bill Oreilly's segment which hosted the leader of the new youth movement "BattleCry", and a representative from the "World Can't Wait Advisory Board", Sunsara Taylor, shows a shocking level of hate, bigotry, malice and narrow-mindedness-- and not from the Christians!. Irony is beautiful isn't it?
