Comment on A “Christian Agnostic”? by Richard Young.

Up to this point, my understanding was that science makes abundantly clear that no human can be born of a virgin, and that no human body can come back to life days after it has deceased. Yet Sean Pitman wants us to believe that:

1. we must use our God-given brains to assess this evidence
2. we must not turn off our brains as we consider this evidence
3. we must reject this evidence, instead accepting what the Bible says
4. we must accept the Bible’s claims because we use our God-given brains
5. Satan does not want us to contemplate this evidence with our God-given brains
6. Satan wants us to act contrary to what our reason tells us
7. if we accept the virgin birth and resurrection on faith in spite of the overwhelming evidence against them, we are exercsing “blind faith”
8. if we accept what science informs us on these two issues, we likewise do so only using “blind faith”

Further, Ellen White reminds us: “Science opens new wonders to our view; she soars high, and explores new depths; but she brings nothing from her research that conflicts with divine revelation. Ignorance may seek to support false views of God by appeals to science, but the book of nature and the written word shed light upon each other.”

So…the science that bears on the virgin birth and resurrection from the dead can only be consistent with what scripture tells us. There can be NO contradiction, as Ellen White pointed out. Evidently, there must be some science proving that the virgin birth and resurrection are possible. After all, THERE CAN BE NO CONTRADICTION. I’d like to see this evidence for myself, but for now I’ll simply trust that Sean Pitman must be right. He has been right on so many other things, which means we can trust him to be right about this.
