I don't know Mr. Till. If you can't discover how something came
about, do you ever wonder if it really did come about?
I have "wondered" very much about these things, and recently have
read a few books on the subject in my spare time. Most of the applicable
books in our library are blatantly anti-Christian (I wonder if these
esteemed authors have a monopoly on all "knowledge") but I have read a
few Christian books on the subject as well. I assure you, I did not toss
aside other theories and claim to have more authority in judging history
than atheists. One of the reasons for being on this list and for research
is to find out things which i don't know.
Yes Mr. Till, I do wonder if the Flood came about. Yes, I am
lacking in answers for all the questions as to how it came about. And
yes, I do wonder if you have all the answers to questions concerning how
things you believe in came about. Do you maintain the same skepticism and
objectivity about your own predispositions and beliefs as you require of me?
Yours in Christ,
Kevin
