It is because of my past 30 years training (in geology, history,
anthropology, and theology/philosophy) that I believe an attempt to
harmonize the Bible and science is doomed to failure. We either accept that
the flood of Genesis (the Trinity, the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, etc.)
occurred by faith or we don't, and neither science nor the Bible can be used
to prove to a skeptic either that it occurred or it didn't. That is the
nature of these two different forms of knowledge. We live in a dichotomy
when we live by faith.
In His Love,
