What's Answers? Answers is a magazine...how much?

"Christians can anwer these objections clearly, correctly, and accurately because they have insight from the New Testament." --Martin Luther

"It is not that Christianity has been tried and found wanting; it is that it has been found too difficult and left untried." --G K Chesterton, my paraphrase..

Similarly, the answers to the semi-eternal rhetorical questions of doubters about suffering are already clearly spelled out, even to the point of Christ's and God's own suffering; albeit they are incomprehensible to those who cannot think their way out of the paper bag of carnality/materialism.  This is simply because suffering cannot be satisfactorily addressed by human reasong and its various -isms at all--unless one is "committed" -if that's the word in such a context- to total meaninglessness or utter absurdity.

I find it interesting, as an aside, that humans have returned from their industrial age hubris  to the pervasive idea of original sin and of man being innately sinful, minus a Savior of course. That is to say, "nature" is inherently good--and that if there is any evil on the earth, man is entirely to blame. Exactly! I would call this "Secular Calvinism"--which is ironically and humorously revealed in the mixture of Calvin and Hobbes! Again, exactly so!  The dividing point is, God IS or God isn't, which are axioms, not provable in this life--one has to go with one or the other--on faith--all men have to have a ready supply of faith; or as Camus implied, there's really only the Hamlet question--which ironically Shakespeare combines with Pascal's Wager.

Summa Theological: Yes Captain, we have answers. The Bible has answers even though we can't explain each individual case--but, neither can science--"(statistics) (one size) fits all--but not real well..."  And the fact that we CAN'T reason our way out of paper bag or cardboard box does not need proof, it is empirically a non-sequitir.

( I might also add the legal logic of "hard cases make bad law".)
