And I'll be honest. I can't give you tangible proof of most (maybe all) of the tenets of Christianity.<br /><br />But I can't give you tangible proof of most (maybe all) of the tenets of modern science, either. I can't give you tangible proof that what I think I observe with my senses is what's really going on. I can't give you tangible proof that 2+2=4, except in a very linguistic sense. And I can't give you proof that the earth revolves around the sun instead of the other way around. I tend to agree with Galileo's equations and what made him believe it. But I can't take you up above the plane of the planets and watch it happen. I tend to believe in evolution, but I can't show you tangible proof of it. I can show you bones and explain geological theory, and we can draw inferences. But that's not tangible proof.<br /><br />That's hope.Jeremy Mastenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00502605705151894028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24875972.post-2276670851877395742009-04-24T11:48:00.000-04:002009-04-24T11:48:00.000-04:00Intellectuality in Christianity?

Fundamentalist Christians are notorious for having an anti-intellectual mentality, in which they must refute anything that is explained by science because it may be contradictory to their dogmatic fantasies. Expalin to me how your beliefs can be so inviolable without having tangible proof to back it up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24875972.post-9099175890381573772006-11-14T18:04:00.000-05:002006-11-14T18:04:00.000-05:00Who is sacrificing their children, Mr. Harris?
