I’m amused at how deeply it offends you that I value divine revelation above all other forms of knowledge including sensory perception and reasoning. Evidently you are so deeply offended, you feel obliged to follow me from thread-to-thread essentially saying "Don't believe her comments on science, she's a Christian. Bah!"

LOLOL! And thank you for the compliment.

All Christians have received at least one, direct divine revelation from God – when it dawned in us that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. – I Cor 12:3

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. – Matt 16:17

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. – John 6:65

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

By your comments, I take it that you believe my loving and believing and trusting God surpassing above all else somehow impeaches my credibility altogether concerning science. If only you could "get" the joke... LOL!

Evidently, you do not know Him. But I do. I’ve known Him personally for nearly a half century.

When the day comes that you meet Him – and that day will come – then you will understand that our mortal sensory perception and reasoning has ever been constrained by our being anchored “in” space/time. Our vision and minds are limited to four dimensions.

When the “blinders” are removed – and you can see what we Christians see, and hear what we Christians hear – then you will realize that physical reality is but a fraction of the Father’s revelation – not the whole of it (the emphasized one below.)

God the Father has revealed Himself in four ways: through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ by Whom and for Whom every thing is made, through the indwelling Holy Spirit, through Scriptures and through Creation, both spiritual and physical.

If one is not aware of – or does not acknowledge the existence of - the other divine revelations, then he will surely not appreciate many of my comments. But that in itself does not impeach my credibility concerning math or science.

Indeed, those who are aware of the “rest of the story” – no doubt also see physical reality in context with “all that there is.”

By your comments, I take it that you believe my loving and believing and trusting God surpassing above all else somehow impeaches my credibility altogether concerning science.

It would seem that if your scientific credibility is being criticized, it is being done because the final arbiter for you seems to be not logic or reason, but of faith and divine; two things that are unknowable and unprovable through empirical scientific means.

It is therefore justified that people wouldn't bother using reason or logic to convince you, since you've admitted that those two things aren't the primary decision makers for you.

Why bother using scientific evidence if "God did it" can be used to prove anything?

Amen to your post.

"And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." -- Luke 17:20-21
