The Oracle Explains Faith  Ben Stein's new movie, Expelled: No
Intelligence Allowed, has inspired my last few posts to address
faith in a Creator vs. faith in science (atheistic science in
particular). An oft-repeated demand from skeptical scientists
has been "Show me God!" or "Give me measurable evidence for a
Creator!"  The Oracle is a character from The Matrix. Neo
approaches the Oracle wanting to know if the rumors are true...
is he the One? The Oracle says to Neo,  " I'm going to let you
in on a little secret... Being the One is like being in love. No
one can tell you you're in love, you just know it. Through and
through. Balls to bones. "  Many people assume that Neo
represents Jesus Christ, which seems true in a lot of ways...
but Neo more consistently resembles an average Christ-follower.
Consider Neo's faith-awakening for example... Jesus never needed
anyone to say, "Hey Jesus, you're not gonna believe this, but
you, like seriously, are God!" Later on Neo embraces such a
powerful quality of faith tha
