Just because something cannot be proven <BR/>a) scientifically or is b) put forth in scripture does not mean it cannot be known. We all know the axiom "there is no such thing as a square circle." I don't think this can be proven scientifically, since the thing in question cannot exist in nature. But we cannot hypotesize concerning a square circle and prove or disprove its existence using a serious of experiements.<BR/><BR/>I am somewhat comfortable with a certain level of separation when it occurs naturally, but the level of separation we see in the scientific community is so extreme as to make it laughable, especially since science itself as a discipline is so constantly in a state of flux. <BR/><BR/>The basic problem to me becomes not a separation of science and faith as much as the complete lack of acknowledgement of truth outside of science to the scientific community. That's where philosophical truth enters the picture, and when science becomes incapable of dealing with all the issues. When scripture is silent or unclear, science can be separated, but when they meet, it seems narrow to me to not allow them to converse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09862891127631309791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150827512146151238.post-36696056380225799792007-09-06T09:58:00.000-07:002007-09-06T09:58:00.000-07:00Poor Jimmy Carter.
