Re: Re: Re: [asa] Believing Scripture but Playing by Science’s Rules

*Note that I have _not_ defined God.*

Well, you've defined the rules God has to play by, thus defining Him.

*DO's response justifies a good God creating a universe that misleads every
honest investigator.*

No, it suggests that an "honest" investigator will not be afraid to
acknowledge his / her limits, and to accept that some things might be
unresolveable mysteries. (Note that this is not my approach to the age of
the earth question; like Terry, I don't think the Bible has anything to say
about this. But if someone takes this approach, I can't say it's completely
irresponsible, because I certainly do take it myself concerning other
questions I'm unable to resolve).
