As a regular on this forum I wish to say welcome to you and as an atheist I do have a question concerning this statement from your post.
​
My question to fellow believers in this forum is this; Why do you debate and try to prove G-d with worldly knowledge, i.e. science?
​
What is wrong with debating science? Is it because you believe it is ,by being worldly,somehow evil? That cannot be right since you believe God created the world.And if worldly knowledge is wrong then is it not wrong also to partake of the fruits of that knowledge by the use of such things as computers and medical advances?
I was just curious and I apologize for buttting in to a question you posted for others.

Hey Ned.How are you?I hope you are enjoying that wonderful spring air on the coast.We are finally breaking double digits here in Edmonton and as I work outside I must say I am looking forward to the sunshine and green grass.
As for pinky you are probably right however I am still puzzled over the idea of 'worldly' and its place in the christian worldview. My ex- wife never gave me a straight answer on this point and I was hoping for a clarification.
I have to leave soon but next time you're near the seawall throw a rock at the Pacific for me will you? Later.
