The Secret things.
Hi Lam, I have a friend who is quite fundlementalist in his beliefs who everytime we debate something that he can not explain biblically he quotes Deuteromy 29 " The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: " That is where he quoted to, but when I looked up the passage I found that he omitted the rest of the verse: " The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. " The key word is REVEALED. Why fundlementalist refuse to accept that which sciences has revealed is beyond me.

Re: The Secret things.
I do not believe you are a bigot. I believe you as myself can not abide the arrogance of certainty that many fundlementalist smugly proclaim. The only thing that is certain is change.
