Folks,
I really should not take a break from grading - ah the joy of the
end of the semester. But Terry's post on cranks and bizarre talks and
papers got my to thinking again that some of my core beliefs would
appear "foolish to the outside world." After all, I am a biologist who
believes in a virgin birth and other miracles that do NOT fit the way
the world generally operates. And I even believe that death was
reversed when our Lord rose.
I suspect CS Lewis would say that a God who is a real God and
not your image of a God, would work in ways humans can not comprehend.
Yet as I think about, except for the testament of early Christians and
the Holy Spirit witness to me, there is no easy way to distinguish my
beliefs from the chap that believe in pyramid power (an early ASA
meeting). If there were, we could persuade any rational being of the
correctness of our beliefs.
Comments anyone?
