We think differently.
As I stated previously: “If science has found truth in the universe and the scriptures tell the truth about the universe, then the two fields of study must come to the same conclusions.”
Would you not agree that if the content of “science” = truth, and the content of “scriptures” = truth, then “truth” = the content of science and scriptures?
It seems to me that you have total faith in the scientific method of doing things and consider scriptures as of very little value.
For instance, about the existence of Jesus, you say: “The only evidence of his existence comes from the books that claim he was a divine being, so obviously they can’t be considered reliable testimony as to his existence or his attributes.”
You use the word “ obviously” in a way that would indicate that you have scientific evidence which proves that “a divine being” can not exist. Could you present that proof here?
Alternately, could you explain your understanding of divinity?
As for my, “faith,” it is very simple. I believe that the essential ingredients of space (1), mass, (2) and energy (3) throughout the universe was created by an infinite intelligence.
There should be no need for justification to the observation that space, mass, and energy exist, and that they exist simultaneously in everything that is in the universe.
The question then is: What was IT that caused the trinity of space, mass, and energy to come into existence? If the imagined highly dense mass of the big bang appeared by magic out of nothing, then there must have been a magician that caused the event to occur, not only that, if such a big bang occurred it would have had a very high entropy, the question then is: What started the decrease in entropy, so that life could exist?.
