Re: [asa] Re: How to approach YECs was Empiricism, Faith and

This is becoming very much a self defeating position. How for instance does Vernon Jenkins know if his interpretations are not being stage-managed by the devil? Irregardless of this weak position on being stage managed, Vernon's position seems hard to defend as Paul and others have so well argued. ----- Original Message ---- From: Vernon Jenkins <vernon.jenkins@virgin.net> To: asa@calvin.edu Sent: Thursday, October 5, 2006 7:58:10 PM Subject: Re: [asa] Re: How to approach YECs was Empiricism, Faith and Science Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 22:10:44 +0100 Sender: asa-owner@lists.calvin.edu Precedence: bulk Paul, Following my comments on the popular dictum, 'nothing supernatural, please', permit me to ask what you make of Job 1:6-12 and 2:1-7. As I see it, we are here given 'snapshots' of what must constantly be taking place in the courts of heaven as the Lord exercises control over his creation - guiding it inexorably toward its intended fulfilment. Clearly, certain potential implications are associated with this view. For example, is it now reasonable to believe that scientists are completely free to pursue what they believe to be _meaningful_ lines of inquiry when these must inevitably result in the undermining of the revealed truth of the J-C Scriptures? How could they possibly know whether or not their observations were being stage-managed by the Devil? Paul, in view of such possibilities, I would expect you to vigorously refute my understanding that these snapshots represent precious fragments of revealed truth. But, on what grounds?
