Our God is the author of chaos ( Psalms ) and therefore is logical and scientific. If a Christian has foolishness, it is the same as that of Christopher Columbus when he refused to beleive the earth was flat. Just because you can't explain the things God does scientificaly or logically does not mean you throw away science and logic. It means you humble yourself and admit that God knows something that you don't. Take the example of a small child ( as per Jesus' instructions 8^) ). There are many things that I do that my 3 year old can't explain with her level of science and logic. Never the less, she hasn't thrown them away! Nor does she need to. Her answer , as is ours, is to continue to grow in the knowledge of God's wonders. Look around you! Science is telling us so very much about ourselves, yet for the most part, the explainations scientists give us are unsatisfactory. Why? Because the fear of God is the beginning of understanding. -- "I almost think that in certain cases yes, and in others, no....." George egroeG Reimer remieR
