“God calls that human philosophy...And he wasn’t silent on the issue...”

I reject your view of a God who gave humankind the gift of reason, setting him apart from the rest of His creation, then says that it is a sin to use it.

And frankly, I find it chilling that I share the planet with so many young earthers and biblican literalists. The degree of self delusion required for you to maintain your world view are astounding. One wonders how you are able to operator a car, or raise a child.

I posted enough scripture that anyone can see that God's not too impressed with intellectual humanist philosophy when it comes to understanding God...

Pro_3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

I didn't say it was a sin to lean on your own understanding...It's just not very expedient...

Sure, God gave us the ability to reason to be able to get along in the world...He also made it crystal clear that it's going to take a different kind of understanding well outside the scope of human reasoning and logic to understand the things of God...

And frankly, I find it chilling that I share the planet with so many young earthers and biblican literalists. The degree of self delusion required for you to maintain your world view are astounding. One wonders how you are able to operator a car, or raise a child.

And I find it just as chilling that there are so many religious people who reject what God says...

Reading and believing the scripture is self delusion??? You deduced that from your God given gift to reason??? It's pretty clear to me that from reading and believing the scriptures, God does not agree with you...
