Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

Why do you suppose scientists are less likely to believe?
Thanks, Grundy.
I'm guessing that the main reason is Young-Earth Creationism. YEC claims that the earth is only a few thousand years old, and that the Bible says that's true, when mainstream geology, astronomy, and biology, among other disciplines, have strong evidence that that isn't so. So the conclusion is that if the Bible is wrong about something I know about, why should it be true about sin and salvation and Christ?
Or, as a post from a pastor puts it: The evangelical posture toward modern science has missional consequences. We have inherited a defensive posture toward science that serves as a roadblock to faith for many people.
