Science and Religion cannot overlap.

[Michael]

I'm not so sure we are so far from that God, MM. I think it is that God (the god of the patriarchs) many people relate to and discover across the ages. Take, for example, the enslaved negroes. On the one hand it's amazing that they embraced so enthusiastically the religious texts of their enslavers, but on the other hand you can see how they found such great resonance and hope in the enslavement and the emancipation of the Hebrews, and that is without even the hope of ultimate freedom promised in the New Testament scriptures. I take your point (I think it was your point) that the God of the apologist often comes across as different (somewhat slippery perhaps?), but I don't think that is the God most people find. But I must admit to a rather jaded view of apologists (with the exception of C.S.Lewis) even though they are supposed to be on 'my side'.
