If you want to say that God put things in place and started all the processes, that's fine. I don't, on face, have a problem with that. However, no theological text is going to work on developing vaccinations or travels into space or reconcile Einsteinian physics with Quantum Mechanics. If we want answers that we can put at least some kind of empirical reliance on, we must do so through the scientific method.



See, this is where any opposition from my side would be completely imagined. I don't think I've ever said anything contrary to this. I would never suggest that we rely on scripture alone to create vaccinations.

And frankly, I think most scientists ask "how does the world work" and do so assuming there's no God. Or at least do so without any kind of appeal to a Higher Power.




ou thinking that doesn't make it true. For one to ASSUME there is no God when the existence of God has never been demonstrated false would be highly un-scientific. As I mentioned before in the hard sciences teh existence of God or his influence isn't a factor. They simply report thier findings. Anytime a scientist bases his/her premise on the non existence of God or claims thier discoveries have ruled him out are quite dubious at best.

The problem with this analogy is that we can see, with our own eyes, the gorilla.

We cannot see God. We can see what some presume to be the workings of God, but that's not God himself.
