“Nothing can be rightly known, if God be not known; nor is any study well managed, nor to any great purpose, if God is not studied.” 56
“To see and admire, to revere and adore, to love and delight in God, as exhibited in his works – [...]

Caveman posted a large reply to one of my comments on the post on doing theology. I’ve decided to reply to a part of it (for now), as this may serve as a helpful example of what constitutes a “strong” inference from a “weak” inference when doing theology.
