Comments on: Your Mind Matters 4: Acting on Our Knowledge http://blog.emergingscholars.org/2009/06/your-mind-matters-4-acting-on-our-knowledge/ From InterVarsity's Emerging Scholars Network Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:51:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Kelly http://blog.emergingscholars.org/2009/06/your-mind-matters-4-acting-on-our-knowledge/comment-page-1/#comment-1195 Kelly Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:03:04 +0000 http://blog.emergingscholars.org/?p=1129#comment-1195 Funny, I too wrote down that quote last night from Ted Davis' talk... Being in science and thus an "Intellectual" is so amazing. I feel like I get a glimpse that few do into how amazing God's creation truly is. I'm reminded of a blog comment discussion I had a few years ago on whether or not there was imagery in logic. I made the case that logic forms the basis for art and imagery and beauty. We use logic to connect the smaller pieces in order to appreciate the whole picture, often subconciously. So yes, I agree that when properly used, the mind is a great tool to drive us toward worship, holiness, and faith.
