In the name of scholarship and collective wisdom gained through the ages, we are taught these contradictory ideas:
:You cannot know if there is a God, you can only believe.
:But we know there IS a God, because we believe.
:Our knowledge is made sure by interpreting reality through that belief.
-|<references/>|-|:We cannot know that the Bible is the word of God.
:But if we believe what it says, it tells us that it is.
:And even the churches can't agree on which parts are to be believed.
:And when they do believe the same parts, they argue about how to understand them.

:Things happen in the world and we cannot know God's ways.
:But his ways are so predictable that if we live right and pray right we can make sure we are in his perfect plan.
:Evidence of his perfect plan is that life is easy for you.
:But when it isn't, trust that you still are in his will, unless your sins are publicly known (then we all know you aren't).

Organizations have sprung up outside the church to give evidences that there is a God and that the Bible is his word. These are not embraced, but held at arms distance; ridiculed for not being scientific.
