Sometimes I wonder what God thinks when He created the universe, and any laws or science attached to running such. God created man, and gave him the brain to discover a certain amount of how God's Creation works. Then, that very man uses God's laws, His gift of a reasoning brain, and declares there is no God.
What is true? Your theology?

Miracles? Are they not the work of God in our lives, and therefore, Truth?

I'll go back to the 16 cen. reformers when they said that Sola Scriptura was the formal principle, where everything else took its form from the Scripture alone.
So we evaluate our theology and experiences and everything else on the basis of God's word alone. -

Communist rebels, for example, seek to overthrow their countries' government by force, then when they are captured, take shelter under the very laws of the country they are subverting. -
My foundation is the special revelation of God in His Word.
While nature teaches a little, it falls short in every category.
Same with science.
Tradition? Experience? I shy from those and would never dare to breath them in the same sentence as the revealed Woird of God.
I taught "Biblical Theology" in college/grad school, but as we progressed (as does the revelation) each student slowly developed his/her own "Systematic Theology".
It was great after 3 semesters from Gen-Rev, that they had developed from the Word important doctrinal truths. And filed each verse/phrase under doctrine/sub-doctrine so that they could look up a subject - like attributes of God - and have hundreds of references to see what the Bible and not what Bob (or Chafer or Strong or Berkhof or Calvin) said! -

George Washington was the United States' first president, but the Bible doesn't mention it...
I have learned from my experiences that if I stick my tongue to a frozen flag pole it hurts... but the Bible doesn't mention it...
And as for learning truth from tradition, it is possible.. there are good traditions that have been passed down from the early church that our faith forefathers have debated and passed on that we need to compare anything new against.
History, Science, Mathmatics all teach some type of truth but it may not be in the Bible.
If you look at nature, you can see that we live in an organized universe, and the only explanation is that an organized being designed it.
There is enough information in nature to point to God (Romans 1) And for us to seek him. (Armenian in me coming out here)
Also in nature, even in heathen tribes, people know it is wrong to kill someone even without the 10 commandments telling them so... -
