Faith Well Grounded

In comments here lately I have professed the fathers of modern science as working within a creationist framework. This is in response to the claim that ID is not science, and my making the point that the recent definition of science that bars the supernatural as a potential cause is just that-- recent. The fathers of modern science worked within a creationist's framework, and you can't separate their science from this framework. You just can't-- especially when they went through great pains to prevent us trying.

"In the beginning, God…” Genesis 1:1, excerpt.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God…” John 1:1

I love these verses, great beginnings to the stories of beginnings. Both start with the utmost central subject of our existence: God. Both begin the Creation story, in which God creates with Word as deed. By Word alone, He creates from nothing. In Him is existence with such perfection that He can give existence as gift.

First, I need to apologize for my absence into everyday life for the past month or so. I was sick for a while. More recently, I have had tremendous opportunities to both teach and be taught. So, my blogging presence has been almost nonexistent. I hope to remedy this.

Now, onto part two of the discussion on “miracles”.

LaffingBoy asked the thunder-stealing question as to exactly what a miracle is. I will agree with Thomas Huxley, in that we are merely “beating the air” until we can agree on this. Let me offer a working definition:

I was dealing with a supposed Biblical contradiction recently. It turned out not to be so much a contradiction as a misunderstanding, but I think it's actually more an intro into the beauty of our Creator.

Genesis 1:31 says that God called His creation good. By Genesis 6:6, He was grieved by sinful man on Earth. Now, it's obvious that these are descriptions of God's feelings at different times. But if God is eternal, infinite and not bound by time, then how can this be explained.

Yes... I'm back into the writings of Richard Morris. If you've followed my blog posts, you'll know that I love his writings. To say that I respect the late Mr. Morris would be a huge understatement.

This week, it's "The Evolutionists: The Struggle for Darwin's Soul" (Freeman, 2001). This posts isn't necessarily about evolution, though I added it as a category since this is an associated subject and the blog is fueled by reading on such. This post, as usual, is about the Naturalistic philosophy being paraded as science.
