REVELATION vs OBSERVATION
"And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:" - Luke 17:20
If the goal of science is knowledge in order to "control" human reality the New Testament world of Jesus demonstrates an ability to manipulate and control human reality without the benefit of "scientific" knowledge.
Jesus clearly demonstrates the existence of non-scientific knowledge by the performance of multiple "miracles".
Jesus brought a message to the world of an other-worldy "kingdom" and He left those who would believe and follow Him a legacy of revelation knowledge and power to change this world.
He taught us to pray "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."

Professors in secular schools seem committed to science as the only source of knowledge.
So-called "Revelation" they say, must be relegated to the realm of superstition. If it is not "empirically verifiable" they say; then it is not "rationally defensible".
Christian Faith, they say, is irrelevant. Science marches on, creating 'brave new worlds'. These "gods of this world" continue to "blind the minds" of unbelieving ones in secular schools and colleges worldwide.
