Tony: 2) Taking in knowledge of God is important, very important. Since it is also reasonable to say that God can be found in all of creation, then taking in knowledge of his creation is also important!(Wouldn't scientist be ashamed to know that they are fulfilling a biblical mandate? It just makes me giggle)

> > 4) Traits of God are seen in creation; if you want to learn about him, study his creation as well. (That is 3 mandates science follows unknowingly)

> > A healthy skepticism is one that makes you ask questions AND dig for answers. Questioning without searching for the truth is not skepticism, it is willful ignorance.

> David: I've picked out some of your statements with which I thoroughly agree. I am completely convinced a study of scientific findings can reveal God. There are two sides to this coin.-As I said, science and anything claiming to be from God can not disagree; if they do, either one is false, or our understanding of the data is false. Either way, if creation is of God, and some written word is from God, they can not disagree.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
