There are several people on the reflector who do not believe the Bible is the
word of God. While they do not accept, endorse or otherwise support my view,
I have not seen them actively opposing what I am advocating either. And I
advocate a historical Bible. With that as background one of the advantages
my view has is that I can at least talk to someone who has studied the
issues, and rejected the Bible for scientific reasons without making them
feel that they have to ignore everything they were taught in order to believe
the Bible.
Why is it that we Christians who worship the Creator of the universe are
aways fighting what we observe in the creation as if it would disprove the
very existence of the Creator? Isn't this odd?
Make no mistake though, I agree with Bill Hamilton this morning that
predominantly the C/E issue is not one for evangelism. It is mostly for the
Christian in order to give the Christian an intellectual reason to believe
his religion is true. But if that is what it is for, then the evidence and
logic used must also be rigorously true.
