[QUOTE="leftrightleftrightleft, post: 68877184, member: 246343"] I'm not sure who you are referring to. Perhaps you could give an example? As I said, I think there is a philosophical divide between seeking natural explanations for phenomena and ascribing supernatural explanations to phenomena. For example, lets say a Christian scientist believes that Jesus turned water into wine. A scientist should immediately ask, "[I]How [/I]did he do this? How did certain water molecules transform into wine molecules? What was the mechanism? If we put the water under a microscope and watched as it turned to wine, what would we see?" The Christian scientist may be an expert in his field whereby he regularly ascribes natural explanations to the objects that he studies. However there is always some limit where a Christian scientists can no longer think scientifically and still remain a Christian. Belief in miracles that "just happen" contradicts the scientific endeavour. You have to be more specific. I'm not sure what his observations are. [/QUOTE]
