Thanks for your reply, SteveII. What does give you intellectual license to reject truths derived from the other disciplines? If you are able to make such a rejection, then does theistic faith play a factor in it?
I don't reject truths from other disciplines. I might not find a particular conclusion to be a truth. For example, while many people just accept evolution as truth (defines as the theory of common decent and the mechanisms by which that happens), I don't make that leap because 1) it has not been proven and 2) my worldview gives more more possibilities than say, and atheist has. I'm not trying to start a debate on evolution, just illustrating the difference in having to believe a theory is true and not having to believe a theory is true regardless of it's actual truth value. When they prove it, I will amend my belief.
