Think about how the pickerel feels. LOL, Perhaps I am being overly sensitive. Good post, but actually it was a trout. Didn't get much fishing in, boat motor quit, borrowed another and ran it out of gas, had to walk several miles back to the resort and then retrieve the boat in the dark, then on the way home through the mountains we blew the trany and limped home in second gear. God is good. "If you wish to believe in a miraculous world that does not require reason, please do so." It is not my wordview that has the problem reconciling itself with reason, logic, morality and the laws of science. All those things are grounded in, and consistent with an infinite personal creator God who is in His very nature logical moral and orderly. It would follow then that if this God created mankind in His own image then the communicable attributes of God would be reflected in them (morality and reason) and also in the order of creation itself (laws of science). I believe that most if not all of the early scientists held the viewpoint that kepler did when he wrote in praise of God the creator, " O God, I am thinking thy thoughts after thee." That is until science got upidy. I realize all that assumes God exists, but I contend that if we start only with ourselves and the universe as we know it, and then work backwards, then the only thing that fits all the facts is the God of the Bible. This is how the Westminster confession describes the God of the Bible. I think He fits the bill. Chapter II. Of God, and of the Holy Trinity. I. There is but one only, living, and true God: who is infinite in being and perfection, a most pure spirit, invisible, without body, parts, or passions, immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, most wise, most holy, most free, most absolute, working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will, for His own glory; most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him; and withal, most just and terrible in His judgments, hating all sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty. How do you explain it? Have a good evening, Greg
