Forum,
It should go without saying that while atheists may scorn the supernatural, Christians may not. Yet, paradoxically, conventional TE wisdom appears to line up with that of the atheists! Now, why should this be? Are the Gospel accounts of our Lord's encounters with the forces of evil not sufficient to convince his followers of their reality? Do the clearly-presented lessons of the Book of Job fail to impress? Do the events leading up to the death of King Ahab strike no chord?
George has proposed that we each conduct what he calls "a little exercise for Christians...who want to engage in theology-science discussions, & especially those relating to evolution." In his opinion, "only a Christian (who) has honestly tried to do this...has any business criticizing the views of Christians who do accept human evolution."
I have to say that what the Scriptures advise me of is the possibility of there being a 'supernatural ' component to any apparently 'natural ' event. That is why IMO Christians in science - acknowledging this 'blind spot ' - should always express their beliefs and understandings with due humility.
TEs can't have it both ways: Christianity, stripped of the supernatural and the miraculous, is no longer 'Christianity'. Clearly, if this is where you stand, you rub shoulders with Dawkins and company!
