You would certainly agree that jumping off the 63rd floor
of a skyscraper would not be wise both because you would
certainly die and because you would tempt the Lord in doing so.
What some say here is that God is the __sustainer__ of all
the laws of physics and we are entirely dependent on His
Grace that these laws are moment by moment upheld. At his
mere will, all could vanish. The reason we have difficulties
with science is simply because the world God made is very
complex and hard to understand. Moreover, scientists are not
always humble as they should be and can become protectors of
their own theories, rather than children wanting to understand.
You might also consider that some here also wonder if
God may at times be influencing events in the world through
a mechanism like quantum mechanics.
God has granted us a mind to reason with, and even a
limited awareness of him making us spiritual animals.
We are granted the __gift__ to think just a little bit beyond
that tiny little box we call our universe. He has given us eyes
to see beyond the cosmic foam to something far more profound
than our puny minds can grasp. Yet what are we in fact, that God
should even bother with us?
Don't you think that attributing these deep and profound
__blessing__ to Satin is just a little bit presumptuous?
By Grace alone we proceed,
Wayne
