Dear Luke, Greetings in the name of Jesus! I just read your user profile, would like to address your question, "How can people accept theories with no proof over theories with TONS of scientific proof?" First let me say that I was brought up in Japan, in an agnostic home. No Jesus (except exclamations and curses) in my environment at all. Not a one of my friends were Christian, and as far as I know, none of their parents were Christians. This is just to say that I had no 'subliminal' influence or childhood memories that brought me to Christ Jesus. In fact, my father was military, logical and mechanical, and taught me to trust in science and rational behavior. I swallowed it all. Then one day 20 years ago, when I was 25 years old, after meeting and talking with some 'nutty' Christians, I found myself called to believe in Christ Jesus. I did not go quietly! I fought these fellows with every bit of logic, philosophy, and rational thought that I had in my (somewhat formidable) arsenal! I argued with them, and with the Spirit of God which assailed my heart. I denied creation, evolution, the supernatural and the Bible. Yet an honesty within me made me to investigate these very things, and to take a good look at my own 'theories.' I found that these so-called 'sciences' and 'proven facts' were not as solid as I was taught they were. I found that the 'truths' I was so certain of had little cement, and a lot of sand! (if you have worked concrete, you know what I mean) The 'experts' were often bigoted, dishonest men, seeking fame and favor. Their 'science' was mere theory, often with weak links of data, fact and logic. In fact, after reading many biographies, I found these men were asking me to 'believe' them, sometimes requiring 'leaps of faith' that would shame a good Cristian! My friend, I suggest you go through some of these 'TONS' of proof. I think you will find 'ounces' of theory! It is true that knowing Christ requires faith. But the Bible if full of truth that science is just now getting around to 'proving.' The historical record of the Bible is being 'proven' by recent archeological discoveries of more accurate dating methods. The social and moral teachings of the Bible are being 'discovered' to be more stable than any philosophy or psychology. Luke, faith in Jesus is anything but blind! It is freedom from the delusions you (and I!) have been fed. My prayer is that you will look into those things you take for granted, and read the Bible. Your eyes will be opened! Blessings to you in Christ Jesus, charis |
