I extend my prayers to Virginia Tech students, staff, and faculty...I cannot image what they are going through...the pain and sorrow...I pray for them all....I mourn with them....
(I also feel it important to note, that yes, things could have been done differently, and it is easy to say that now, but school security were acting in the spare of the moment, without much time to really think about their actions...let's not be too critical...remember that we have more information now than they had at the time)
On a less serious note, and a now a time to shift to theology, which is yet still important...
I have been studying the creation account in Genesis and ask:
Is it possible for the Bible and Science to coexist without conflict? Can we use science to help show that creation needs a Supreme Being to create this world? Must the two conflict?
I also ask, is the age of the Earth young or old? Science says old, and yet we can derive from the Bible a young Earth?
On a more humorous note, Bishop James Ussher supposedly used geneologies in the Bible to determine the exact day and time the Earth was created and concluded the following:
"Heaven and Earth, Centre and substance were made in the same instant of time and clouds full of water and man were created by the Trinity on the 26th of October 4004 B.C. at 9:00 in the Morning."
Bishop James Ussher, 1664
Anyway, so what do you guys think? What do you believe? I know this really is not important for faith, but I do want to know. I want to find a point at which Science and Christianity can coexist and be used for the Glory of God!! I want science to point to God! As I believe it should and can...I just haven't figured out how yet.....
Morning....Mourning....Praying....
