God created everything that we do not yet understand.

Electricity used to be "God's will" -- now it's commonplace. A
generation
ago showing a live image of someone world-wide would have been
considered
a
miracle -- now you can see Britney Spears on a stupid awards show,
anywhere
in the world.

Why, flight itself would have been considered the work of God 101 years
ago -- now we recreate it at will, daily.

So has God created everything that we do not yet understand, or is it
just
a
matter of time before we understand *everything*?


You answered your question with your examples. At some point we will
understand everything.

Genetic engineering will soon allow us to "create
man in his own image." And that is just the start.

Might big assumption :-)



Of course, even when something is understood and explainable, the
"fanatics" will not accept
it. They would rather live in a fantasy world.

What is this "it" the "fanatics" will not accept?

I guess the answer to that depends on what religion the fanatics belong
to.
Off the top of my head we have evolution for the Christians and equality
of
the sexes for the Moslems.

Some simple truths:

=====================
God loves you.
We were created have fellowship with Him.
Sin (man's claim to the right to himself) alienates us from God.
Jesus Christ - God's Son - came to earth as God Incarnate and gave up His
rights to Himself to redeem us from sin.
God accepted Christ's sacrifice and signified this by raising Him from the
dead.
If we accept the sacrifice of Christ as a substitutionary sacrifice for our
sins, we are saved from the results of those sins - alienation from God.

"By this gospel you are saved ... that Christ died for our sins according to
the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures"

=====================
Everything else is man's attempt to understand God - some do it better than
others but no one's got it all figured out.

But have you followed the link and read what the LP stands for?

I suspect there are few pilots who are not libertarians at heart. The two
mindsets mesh far too well for me to be the only one here.

You are not alone.

John,

Some simple truths:


Truths? Says who? How can you state something like that after having
read the thread, assuming you have? If you had said: "Some simple
beliefs" - that would have been ok. But "truths"? Sad...

You misunderstand. If Jay is afraid to share the air with people who give
God a significant place in their lives, then he should quit flying because I
know the two he ran into aren't the only ones.

I think it's a matter of degree. God plays a "significant role" in this
country, without harm. If this is what you mean by "significant", I'm all
for it.

However, I got the impression that these guys, when confronted with an
in-flight emergency, might conceivably just sit back and wait for a miracle.
THAT scares me.

Some simple truths:

From Encarta Dictionary:

Truth [ trooth ] (plural truths [ troothz, trooths ])

noun

1. true quality: correspondence to fact or reality
2. something factual: something that corresponds to fact or reality
spoke the truth
3. true statement: a statement that corresponds to fact or reality

Although your beliefs are commonly accepted by many, I don't think they meet
the standard of "Truth".

Close, but no cigar. The LP's blind faith in laissez-faire capitalism
betrays a failure to understand that *any* unrestrained power threatens
liberty. It matters not whether that power is in the hands of
government, religion, labor unions or business.
