WHY DON’T WE TOLERATE ARGUMENT FROM THEOLOGY?
Bob,
You will find that while most of us practice Christian values, and some of us participate in Christian religion, (we have members and followers of pagan, christian, catholic, orthodox, jewish, muslim, hindu, chinese and various other east asian religions) from absolutely secular to quite devoted, that we do not tolerate theological arguments as truth claims – instead only as examples of correspondence between the truth and the wisdom captured in various religions.
We work in the sciences of cooperation, morality, ethics, testimony, epistemology, and apply that to the natural law – the rules necessary for the harmony of all those sciences. Every religion has at least some consistency with Natural Law or it would not survive.
But if we are to appeal to God, and to the laws of god, we find the evidence of his hand in the universe, not in those of ancient peoples lacking our knowledge of the universe at all scales.
And certainly not when they appeal to sophistry, magic, pseudosciencde, or the supernatural which are simply admissions of one’s failure to discover and understand the laws of the universe – which must be, if there is a god, god’s laws.
If there is a god, then the natural law, as we explain it, as the sum total of the sciences we have discovered – is his command.
