Why is it that, in this culture, everything must have some sort of explanation? And when one does not exist they no longer believe in it. For instance in an article it stated that Jesus may have walked on ice and not on water. And they explained how ice could have formed there. Scientists always try to explain things away. If they had it there way everything would be explained and all the mystery in everything would no longer exist.

If we simply beleive things for the sake of it then we would never discover anything else. If Aristodle had not disregarded the Atom, everyone would simply have agreed to it. That is never the case, and thereis no point in trying to stop that.

Don't get me wrong I love science it's just that... A few months there was a documentary on the Loch Ness Monster. Now, I have never believed in the Monster but I know there are people who do believe and make it there life work to find. This documentary pretty much gave conclusive proof that the Monster does not exist. Why do these scientists want to take there belief of Nessie away from them. In this example I say provide evidence for both sides of the argument and let people draw there own conclusions.

Because accepting things on blind faith is not a good strategy for living. Reason exists for a reason, and people would not survive long without it. Reason allows us to differentiate between things that are inherently destructive to our well-being, and things that help us. For instance, if people never sought the explanation of "why" bacteria/infection kills people, medicine wouldn't be as effect as it is today. You'd likely be killed by a doctors unsterilized surgical instruments.

Both sides of the argument are out there. Your post reminds me of a friend of mine telling me how much he despised Carl Sagan. Apparently Sagan put people out of business by promoting critical thought and showing certain paranormal claims to be unsubstantiated. In other words, Sagan provided the other side of the argument.

Some people are disturbed by the mysterious nature of the universe. Science is trying to unveil this darkness.

Modern and post-modern thinking. Our culture no longer thinks the same way it did 2000 years ago, or 200 years ago, or even 50 years ago.

I'd be interested in seeing someone get onto a block of ice and stand on it while they float out to a boat during a storm. The only way I'd be willing to attempt something like that would be ... um ... if I could walk on water.

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Scientists discover mysteries faster than they solve them. You have nothing to fear.

You're probably giving "this culture" far too much credit. Such inquiry seems rarely visited upon but by a few.

Isn't the Bible an attempt to explain the universe...?
