George Murphy made what is to me a puzzling comment when he wrote at the
end of a reply to Bill Payne:
>>...one reason a scientist who is a Christian should ask "What's
missing?" is
belief that God created a world which is understandable "though God were
not given.">>
When I was a non-Christian physicist, I did indeed take as a presumption
the statement "The world is, to a very large extent, understandable."
When I became a Christian, that presumption did not change, although its
wording did change to "God created a world which is, to a very large
extent, understandable."
But I don't know that the presumption ever took on the status of a belief
statement. That seems to elevate it to a higher status than it deserves.
