Strangely, the "Singularities" of space, which we have just posted, must fit within the framework of something that maintains "everything comes from nothing" a theory that is really less than a fairy tale. But, we'll gloss over that--just believe in something; the truth is out there somewhere.
Unfortunately, this idea doesn't just stop with non Christians. Some years ago, Dr. Francis Schaeffer commented on this. In "The church at the end of the twentieth century", he wrote:
"Modern theology has not helped this. from Karl Barth on it is an upper story phenomenon. Faith is a totally upstairs leap. The difficulty with modern theology is that it is no different from taking drugs. It is one trip or another. You need to try LSD, you can try the modern theology. It makes no difference - - both are trips, separated from all reasons.
What we are left with is God words. Students coming out of all kinds of backgrounds are saying, "I'm sick of God words and I'll not respond,""so am I." They left the upstairs with only connotation words and no content.
For them any concept of a personal God is dead, and any contact with God is dead. They are cut off with how many categories of absolute right and wrong terms. There is no help here. we are left with totally situational ethics....As you listen to him, the modern theologians are only saying what the surrounding consensus is saying...."
