Disbelief of Disbelief

It won't get you there...

It is interesting to me that as we travel through life oftentimes the natural course we take turns out to be the right one. As we start to reason we end up going in the opposite direction. But after a thorough study we find ourselves back on the original course. A parlay with the oppositions of science (falsely so-called). God uses the foolish things to confound the wise (in their own eyes).

Example: Someone is raised a Christian (right course). But he accepts the religion w/o any rational basis for doing so. As he goes through Bible College he loses his faith; not implausible as it is anecdotally referenced. He uses his reason or becomes a skeptic (wrong path). Science and religion appear incompatible and so he rejects religion. But if he keeps honestly studying the issue there may be startling consequences. That genius scientist, Sir Isaac Newton, concluded that a God must exist (right course). Similarly many skeptics have come to a saving knowledge of the truth as a result of their honest study.
