As I work through Frame's, The Doctrine of God, my faith is increasingly strengthened. I am also more convinced that the naturalistic bend of our current educational culture, to qualify science as that which is founded upon reason while religion is that which is founded on faith (faith being in their mind defined as that which is without reason), is nothing more than a rebellious bias against the all-knowing, personal Creator.
We have solid and sure reasons for trusting in God. This excerpt from Frame explains why:
Since God created and governs all things, He is the original interpreter of creation, the one who understands the world in all its depths - not only its material nature, but also its ultimate meaning and purpose. God, therefore, has the ultimate viewpoint on the world - the broadest, deepest understanding of it. His word about Himself or about the world, therefore, is more credible than any other word or any other means of knowing. It obligates belief, trust, and obedience.
Simply put, because God tells us so, we have the best reason available to believe and know things about our world. It is the mark of an irrational mind to believe Dawkins, a mere man, with very limited information and ability, over God, the One who personally created everything Dawkins has ever studied as well as the mind with which he studies.
We can trust what the Lord says.
