Wish I could talk on a more technical side of Scientific language to express my point to Secular Scientist, in order to bridge the chasm that exists between them and us, but I agree with that you are sharing.
God is obviously real, not even Science can argue against the Jesus (Logos) or they argue away the existence of Science.
Keep up the great work in defense of the faith,

Dear friend,
I am somewhat worried about your post...
You're
using science to defend Christianity: admirable of course, but the actual results you're referring to should have been
first scrutinized against the background of Creation theology.
Einstein: a firm believer of a cosmos without the Firmament, of infinite light years, of the Earth as a tiny insignificant clump of dirt in comparison to he universe. Really?! By accepting that you have to
discard some of God's first words of Creation!
Genesis 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Accept Einstein over Newton (who, by the way was a believer of Arianism) and you'll be going down the road of
metaphor in the Bible.
Parables are a different thing. They are there to teach us. Metaphors are
subjective attempts to rescue God from the (probably faked) findings of secular science that contradict the purified word of God.
1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
There's a
choice to be made. Following secular logic and trying to rescue God from the onslaught of data that is in direct opposition to Scripture by
molding both the data and Scripture into something unrecognizable. Or -
discard the logic and accept Scripture. You'll be ridiculed and persecuted. But to welcome ridicule is to Welcome Jesus!
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
