Drich Wrote:If the situation was direction from God 1) it would not be random, and 2) would be consistant with Scripture. God would not give a revelation that went against what has already been established in the cannon of scripture.

That's fine, but it still does not answer the question of how you can tell the difference between what is and isn't a direction from god.

Drich Wrote:Does a sucessful: Business, Ministry or Marriage count?

Of course not. If I believe that god has commanded me to kill my neighbor, and I am successful in doing so, does that mean the command truly came from god?

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
