Howling Wilderness [Theological Rationalism Part 2]

The first degree of Theological rationalism comes from the mind of those who are evidently "outside" the Christian camp.

This people are not trying to give any illusions, they are proud to be "unbelievers".

These people scoff at the Bibles claims to:

1. God creating the universe in 6 24 hour days
2. Virgin birth
3. Miracles of any kind

In the end why do they reject these things. Well...none of these things make sense to their very limited understanding...sooo....it can't happen.

Isn't that amazing, they put their finite understanding as the ulitimate standard of what can or can not happen in reality. Even though if challenged they would have to admit that their understanding of the known universe would be less than a millionth of 1 percent.

So why couldn't the Almighty speak the universe into existence? Because they, as finite men can't, nor can they understand how it could be done?

There is only one way these men could get a woman to conceive, and so...God must be limited to their great powers.

And as for miracles...it is beyond their minds capacity to grasp how a man's eyes could be opened by the use of mud [mud being the means that the Almighty decided to use] so it can't be.

Can you see the common denominator. These Biblical truths can not be true because they go beyond what man's mind can grasp.

By the way, that is not a good argument!

Right on. Or put another way, "Can you prove that an invisible God present but transcendant over the natural realm can be proven not to exist by looking only at the natural realm?". Nope. Now you can say "Within the visible natural realm I can't see an invisible God that is above nature." But so what? I look out my window in Alberta and can't see France; shall I presume that things outside my terms of reference don't exist? Reminds me of when my kids thought I couldn't see them because they had their hands over their eyes! Cute. Not convincing, but cute.
