This is the rationale that serves as a scientific pathway to the theory that there is a "divine creator". I liked our discussion on "natural revelation" and found the quote that Dr. Corsini, delivered by Dr. Lightner, on the subject to be an important conclusion for the believer to remember. Lightner asserts that the problem is not with the messages of "natural revelation" of God but with the impact of the fall that blinds our eyes from receiving those messages. A part from the grace of God which has allowed us to see the truth, we are blind. The movie "Expelled" is a great example of the "blinding of their eyes." Romans 11:8 references passages in the Old Testament that acknowledge this fact: “GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, <br />EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT, <br />DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY.” <br />Knowing this helps me curb my bent toward righteous anger and allows me to have empathy for a secular sub-set that is likely to be angry and offended by the thought of funding research to prove the existence of God.Phillip Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566038034923906855noreply@blogger.com
