The emerging mantra of the secular man-in-the-street is that
ALL religious views are dangerous, not just the extreme ones.
The supposedly enlightened-by-science secular tools of modern arrogance and stupidity, are a lethal brew every bit as backward as antiquated fundamentalist religion.
The arrogant assumptions of secular science and subsequently the thoughtless secularism of the man in the street pretend to know the origins of the universe— life— and consciousness— let alone self-consciousness— when in truth, they actually know far less about reality than a garden variety religionist who has actually discovered God— through living faith and personal experience— despite perhaps the numerous and often grotesque errors of their chosen theology.
Intelligent men should cease to reason like children and learn to use the consistent logic of adulthood, logic which tolerates the concept of truth alongside the observation of fact. Scientific secularism has gone bankrupt when it persists, in the face of each recurring universe phenomenon, in refunding its current objections by referring what is admittedly higher, back into that which is admittedly lower. Consistency demands the recognition of the activities of a purposive Creator.
Reason alone will never achieve harmony between infinite truth and relative fact, because God is the first truth and the last fact; therefore does all truth take origin in him, while all facts exist relative to him. God is absolute truth. As truth, one may certainly come to personally know God, but to understand, or begin to explain God, one must explore the fact of the universe of universes. The vast gulf between our personal experience of the truth of God, and our ignorance as to the fact of God can be bridged only by living faith.
