Why does science always upstage God?

[ayost]

Meaning God has clearly shown you at least two things about himself: his eternal power and divine nature.

God may have exposed himself to you, at some point.  That sounds on brand.  Some of us have simply never had the pleasure.

Personally, wouldn't matter to me.  Seeing gods ass wouldn't make me a christian.

Well, what Romans is saying is that if God revealed it to you, then the message got through. You are suppressing your knowledge of God. Which I think you second sentence demonstrates pretty clearly.

Would you discard your religion if Zues descended from mount olympus and set up shop in your living room?  I think there's an interesting misconception at the heart of beliefs such as the one espoused.

I mean, that would clearly challenge my beliefs, I guess. I'm not sure how that matters here, though.

It's that raincoat cloaking device. He only exposes himself to certain people.

It's not cloaked, it's clear. You're suppressing and rejecting the knowledge.

Reformed is a denomination, like Baptist or Presbyterian.

And why is it called such?

From the Christian reformers, like Martin Luther and John Calvin. It's just a way to label your beliefs. In the case of Reformed theology we are saying our Theology closely matches theirs.
