Retort to Dawkins

In a recent interview with CNN, prominent atheist Richard Dawkins said the following:

"Evolution is almost universally accepted among those who understand it, almost universally rejected by those who don't."

For a moment I was enfuriated by his statement, until the following one popped into my head:

"Christianity is almost universally accepted among those who understand it, almost universally rejected by those who don't."

Quid pro quo.

I am not claiming my response as absolute truth, rather as a necessary perspective.

The beginnings of my wonderings

My God owns the cattle on a thousand hills! What's not to wonder about that??

I know that try as I might, I cannot resolve the enigmatic nature of God's extravagant love for me. The greatest insight I will ever have will be but a scratch on the surface.

I cannot understand why God decided to have mercy on me and save me through His grace. I am grieved in knowing how much Christ suffered for me. I am baffled by the way the Holy Spirit speaks to me. I am hopelessly allured by the infinite beauty of the triune God. I can hardly begin to explain the mystery of Christ and the Church.

Amazingly enough - by God's sovereignty - I exist. I have full access to His throne of grace and may approach it with confidence. As long as I continue to walk in the light, there will be new mercies and new wonders to behold. As I am able, I will share them here.

Welcome.
