1 Corinthians 2:7 English Standard Version (ESV) But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.

A bold comment was laid out yesterday dealing with how to run an experiment to discover what existed before time began. Faith was chosen to run the experiment and it should be challenged as being the one source of proof. How does anyone know testing faith will be able to find the answer?

To impart secrets and wisdom of God one must first have them. In order to know that faith is the delivery vehicle for this experiment one must first have it. One cannot impart what one does not have.

The simple answer is that faith is given to all mankind. It is not withheld from anyone. If we are to experiment with faith, then we shall use our own faith to be tested. It is not that we have faith that provides proof, it is where we place our faith.

To say that faith is belief sells faith short. I believe the brakes on my car are good. I test faith every time I drive my car. What happens when my brakes fail and I am in an accident? Was I wrong to put my faith in those brakes? Some might argue that isn’t faith, it is trust. If that is true how do we define faith if it is more than belief and more that trust?

Testing faith is very similar to testing brakes. You have to put it in motion in order to get results. So how do we put faith in motion? First we must find the purpose behind faith if all are given faith and where we place our faith determines its usefulness.

Study faith to see its connections. Nowhere in all the libraries of the world is faith spoken about more than in the Holy Bible. We have to study the bible to see what faith does. Then we can test it.

Romans 1:20 English Standard Version (ESV) For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

Science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.  (The Oxford Dictionary)

We are so smart that we have developed computers to do our thinking for us. Science boils down to observational skills. Scientist have argued amongst themselves about what they are observing. They challenge every assumption and try to disprove every theory that does not satisfy their own questions.

The big bang theory gave way to string theory. Particle generators create crash scenarios of such enormous speeds that the human eye cannot perceive so instruments had to be created to try and explained what happened. It seems that every answer leads to more questions and theories must be challenged to satisfy the minds of the next great generation of skilled scientist.

One question has never been satisfactorily answered by science. What happened before time began?

God who exists outside of time created time. The power to perform that creative process is immeasurable. There is a theory that proves that power exists. It is called faith.

Faith when treated as a theory can be placed into the realm of scientific study. We can run observational experimentations. We can test faith in order to see how it acts.

In order to test faith one must first find faith? No experiment can be performed without a clean sample of the test object. Where are we to find faith? If it is going to be subjected to the observational skills of the power of God then its source must have some connection to that field of study.

Where will we find faith? That is the question.
