What Is Faith?
• Faith is our responsibility in coming to God, in finding salvation and in being born again. All the rest of this marvelous work is of God.

• Faith is believing God so completely that we obey Him and act on what He says even before we understand. Faith is the noun; Trust is the verb. Faith is always in God.

• Faith is the most often perverted word in Scripture. We throw it around until it becomes difficult to understand.
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. (Rom 10:17)

Faith Needs The Truth
A Bible-believer, who has trusted the plain meaning of Scripture to explain how to choose his destiny can easily trust that same source for the 'How' of his origin. That is reasonable and consistent. He has chosen God's Words as his final authority to rule above the best speculations that fallen man has drawn from the damaged cosmos.

These two divine revelations convey creation truth but Scripture and the Cosmos are not equal in authority.

Scripture is the inerrant words of the Creator containing a logical, coherent, comprehensive albeit incredible, account of origins. The Bible explains that after creation was perfect, God drastically changed His methods of working and now is conserving what He made. But, the cosmos has been marred by the fall, and catastrophically changed during the global flood. If we deny the Creator's written record we have no way of knowing what actually happened at the beginning. Furthermore natural processes (to which science is limited) can never reveal those supernatural acts.

• Faith believes first in order to understand, while rebels demand to understand first so they can decide whether to believe.

Biblical authority resolves historical events. In the Bible real events, in real places, in real time frame spiritual truth. That's the structure of Scripture. To deny its record of history is to deny its doctrine. Jesus said,
"If you don't believe me when I tell you earthly things, [physical truths]
how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things [spiritual truths]?" (John 3:12)

If God is the greatest Communicator ever, and wants every man to know the truth, as He says He does, then He would say what He means and mean what He says. Therefore, we trust His plain words. We don't lock onto the wooden literal meaning, nor do we fictionalize (allegorize) real events. All "interpretations" include human contamination, despite claims that they clarify. Considering the evolutionary preconceptions admitted by theologians, when they "interpret Scripture in the light of science," they confirm what they already believe.

The truthfulness of any creation view can be easily exposed by the spurious twists in Bible doctrine they require. Creation is a vital root for all other major Bible doctrines and the defining events in the Biblical Worldview. Even slight modifications of Bible history will skew this spiritual truth.

Truth-seeking is recursive. Our beliefs become our preconceptions that then direct our next search. Despite claims of objectivity and impartiality, scientists tend to form hypotheses, select evidence and form conclusions that agree with what they already know. Thus they unintentionally tend to confirm their beliefs. Bias has often proven to be stronger than reason in the scientific process.

Faith is Reason-able
Faith is reasonable. Faith is not a leap away from logic, but makes the most logical choice: Faith trusts the Best Source of truth to rule when there is dispute.
A Bible-Believing, Logically-Reasoning, Truth-Seeker places man-made science under the Authority, Inerrancy and Sufficiency of Scripture.
