Because it can't.
Science is about how. Religion is about why. The latter is the higher pursuit.
What a bizarre thesis.
Science doesn’t posit nor disprove God (a few atheist loudmouths notwithstanding).
It merely measures and evaluates physical phenomena.
There is a space called “science.” There is a space called “theology.” They only overlap when “what,” “how,” and “why” are called together, usually for political purposes.
Science supports a creation event. Sounds Biblical.
I just read a comment in my Passover Hagadah (the liturgy of the Passover meal) from the fifth Lubavitcher Rabbi, Rabbi Shalom Dov Ber Schneerson, ZT’L. It applies well here:
A skeptic told Rabbi Schneerson of his disbelief in a spirituat world. The Rabbi answered with an analogy. “We are presently on a trip involving three parties. We are the passengers, eager to get to our destination for business purposes. There is the driver of the wagon, who is thinking about the rubles he will earn with which to buy his provisions [for the Sabbath,] and there are the horses who are pulling the wagon and thinking about the straw they will receive when the destination is reached. Should we allow the horses to define the purpose of this journey? Likewise, does the fact that ‘horses’ can only think of ‘straw’ negate the existence of the spiritual reality?”
One of my favorite quotes I’ve read lately was along these lines: “When I became a scientist back in the ‘60s, Science was leading away from God. 30 or 40 years later, with all the advances we’ve made, most of Science is pointing towards God”.
