I still want capital letters though. This format is a little too much on the e e cummings side if ya know what I mean! I like the color (or lack thereof) scheme though!

Good post. I think my idea of self-correction is geared more toward generations of scientists, not the beliefs of individual generations. Idealogues will hold onto their beliefs no matter what, so often the responsibility goes to their children and grandchildren to find the truth. In my mind, though, it’s all academic. If your faith (not *you*, SCPanther, but some generic “you”) is foundationally based upon what you know or what you observe, then you have a very weak faith, and it’s probably extremely wrong, too. Men die and ideas change, and scientific “truth” shifts from generation to generation. This isn’t to say that we Christians should stick our heads in the sand and scream “la la la la” if our beliefs are questioned, but that we should keep in mind that the truth was given to us, not discovered through our skill or knowledge. We should have an answer for people that question us, but that’s all we’re commanded to do, to have an answer, not necessarily an answer that will please or convince everyone.

Plus, even if scientists come to the point that, through their skill and knowledge, they believe there is a God, that doesn’t automatically mean they have a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, or that others will be led to Christ through their work. Just look at Antony Flew, who was convinced intellectually that there’s a God, but believes the God of the Bible is a “Cosmic Saddam Hussein”. That’s a far cry from Christianity.
