Broad Observation

All the things that the Bible tell me are good or bad for me all make sense at their root, even if they don't at the surface. Things that society/government/school/establishment tell are good or bad often don't hold up under intense investigation of roots and consequences unless they correlate directly with Biblical teaching.

Why is it that we are more inclined to give society/government/school/establishment more credence than the Bible? One has been around much longer than the other. One has weathered every attack upon it from without and within and always come out stronger in the end.

But people don't see this.

Why?

Is it because it is so hard to see, or is it that they have never actually looked beyond what culture tells them?

It seems the vast majority of the world spends their lives blind, even those who pride themselves on their intellect have blind spots if even they can see at all. Christians and heathen thinkers alike have these blind spots. The advantage of the Christian thinker is they have God to see for them when they cannot see themselves. It is then that they realize that any sight they ever had was God's.

That and as impressive as we are as a species the amount of a certain type of intellect and mind are required to even want to pull back the veil we all see the world through, because what we see on the other side is so massively complex that even the best and brightest minds can only begin to comprehend it.

There is always another black box. Something that doesn't fit. As far as we have come in science and philosophy those who practice them at their highest levels balk at how little we still know.

The mere claim that "science disproves God" is ridiculous. Science has proven nothing of the sort! There is no science in which knowledge is absolute. I know of no science that is dead, only evolved. Astrology laid the foundations of astronomy. Just because we figured out the sun wasn't pulled across the sky by a chariot does not disprove a creator of the universe. (It does not stop there but I am unless asked.)

The only way that science could ever disprove God is... well science in it's current practice could never do such a thing. Science only covers the physical world which we can measure by physical means. Even if we could see to the very point of creation would anyone really expect to see some huge dude, or any thing at all? The question remains, "Where did it ALL come from?"

We exist.

How?

But more importantly WHY?
