We need to move smoothly between the ideas of the secularists, the creationists and the intelligent design people so that we can evaluate and synthesize these ideas for the benefit of the church.</EM></P></BLOCKQUOTE> <P dir=ltr>If we abandon the mastery of this creation which God placed in our charge, we leave it to those who intentionally interpret creation apart from its Creator. Those who strive to master understanding&nbsp;any aspect of creation honor God. They honor God by considering his efforts to be worthy&nbsp;of attention. Only in the church can such understanding have its full benefit: a greater&nbsp;fellowship with&nbsp;our God.</P> <P dir=ltr>Thanks again for this reminder.</P>Brian8/6/2005 7:56:00 AM
