Its a question of how your faith reconciles with reality.
So it is.... about faith.... then.

The point however I was making is that it is not a thread about the definition of "intuition" or anything else granpa is trying to derail the thread into.

It would appear to me that the only way I have seen people reconcile faith with reality, is to simply ignore the inconvenient parts of reality, or misrepresent it.

Does your faith require you to ignore (actively or otherwise) anything you observe in the world around you?

Why or why not?



When science can create a world for itself & nothing to do with this one, its taken, then it can get its own church and pass the basket around. Until then science works for man , his aspirations and religion. Employees. Employee's are not in charge , attempts to take over would be trespassing, good luck on that one.

This is where you don't get it.

One doesn't believe in science, one understands it, or not.

I suspect you don't. Answer me this one, how does a theory become a theory?
