I think this is a point against theology rather than for it. Theology is just too stubborn to admit when it is wrong. I mean, when has theology ever been right about anything?

Oh, my bad. I actually misunderstood you. You said certain. Theology is much more certain. And very authoritative. But still incorrect.

(April 9, 2013 at 6:10 pm)jstrodel Wrote: Theology is not the same as philosophy. Philosophy is a tool to help understand language better, which helps people understand revelation. Theology is concerned with revelation. It is certain because it has been revealed by God, and the wisdom of theology has created the most prosperous, powerful, creative and free societies that exist.
You have no evidence that revelation is real, so you turn to theology for validation...whilst saying that proof that theology is itself valid is the validity of revelation.
