Who said anything about scripture being clear? Not me. Nor did I say there was no differences from other fields of study like science. I certainly think there are, and have spoken about them in many places like here and here and here. And I have little doubt that someone used to science like I am might find religion difficult by comparison. I do. With a masters degree in physics and a master degree from a theological seminary, I am well aware of those differences. How about you Anthony? Have you done any intellectual analysis in academia on some some subject? What was it (might help us understand what sort of intellectual analysis you are trained in)?
