To believe in a God necessitates that you abandon reason.

So what you are saying is that even though the Bible said that the world was spherical 1000 years before science did, and that the Bible - Jehovah God's word - was far more ahead of science on many scientific issues we are without reason until science does catch up with it because you have just dismissed it because you can't explain what God is?

Huh

What? How in the name of the Spaghedeity did you write an entire paragraph with only one full stop? Big Grin (srsly I don't understand what your point is)
