There are fundamental contradictions which remain unexplained, there are ongoing missing links, and as Einstein said, "As the diameter of a circle of light grows, so does the circumference of the darkness around it."
We don't know what we don't know yet, but those who are prideful in the knowledge we do possess think differently.
When we can come up with next week's weather forecast (a reliable one) week after week, when we can predict earthquakes with reliability, and say with certainty where and when lightning will strike, get back to me.
Otherwise, it is great fun to toss our meager intellects against the majesty of Creation in an effort to understand what God hath wrought.
I always thinks it is funny when scientists use their God given ability to Reason to prove there is no God. In order for Reason to be valid it cannot be the effect of an irrational cause, it must separate and independent of nature. Otherwise it is simply the epiphenomenon of chemical reactions, electrical impulses, etc.
God is laughing His head off over all this nonsense.
Trying to disprove the Creator is a fools errand.
‘There was a group of scientists, and they were all sitting around discussing which one of them was going to go to God and tell him that they didn’t need him anymore.
‘One of the scientists volunteered and went to tell God he was no longer needed. The scientist says to God: “God, you know, a bunch of us have been thinking, and I’ve come to tell you that we really don’t need you anymore. I mean, we’ve been coming up with great theories and ideas, we’ve cloned sheep, and we’re on the verge of cloning humans. So as you can see, we really don’t need you.”
‘God nods understandingly and says, “I see. Well, no hard feelings. But before you go, let’s have a contest. What do you think?”
‘The scientist says, “Sure. What kind of contest?”
‘God replies, “A human-making contest where we make a human being.”
‘The scientist quickly agrees, “Sure! No problem.”
‘The scientist bends down and picks up a handful of dirt and says, “Okay, I’m ready!”
‘God shakes that divine head, “No, no, no…you go get your own dirt.”’
“Although cosmic mysteries remain, Sean Carroll, a theoretical cosmologist at the California Institute of Technology, says there’s good reason to think science will ultimately arrive at a complete understanding of the universe that leaves no grounds for God whatsoever.”
Book to follow, foundations of religion and science shaken by controversial new theory, ground breaking study, blah and more blah. Just a few a little details to be worked out like....like....where do they find these people?
Since you cannot prove a negative, you cannot prove God does not exist.
No competent scientist would assert a null hypothesis.
God will “rule out” scientists with a mere flick of an inconsequential mile-wide asteroid someday.
Over the past few centuries, science can be said to have gradually chipped away at the traditional grounds for believing in God.
When the very first sentence is this idiotic there is little hope for the ones thst follow...
Science can only chip away at a primitive notion of a god of the gaps. For the one whose name is I AM, science merely shows the majesty of HIS creation! For the heavens proclaim the glory of God.
Whenever someone tells me there is no God, I ask them why is this year 2012? No honest person cam deny that this year is based on a time relationship to the birth of Jesus Christ.
And that B.C. thing means before Christ. Must mean that even secular historians recognize that Jesus was a historical figure who has to be so special that all of recorded history used his birth as its reference point.
Even the secular historians of the time acknowledge the death and resurrection of Christ.
Who created the science?
Science is blind.
Although cosmic mysteries remain, Sean Carroll, a theoretical cosmologist at the California Institute of Technology, says there's good reason to think science will ultimately arrive at a complete understanding of the universe that leaves no grounds for God whatsoever. …
Now that's actually very funny!!! Most people of course realize the very opposite.
One thing Carl Sagan said that I always found interesting is never left my mind, is that he actually believed in a God, and that someday a scientific discovery would be made that actually proved His existence...and I myself suspect that this thing will be discovered when scientists look harder at the properties of light. Without getting into it too deeply, there are some studies that seem to show that light “has a mind of its own”, or at least it seems to, under certain conditions. Anyway, anytime I hear that that scientists have made a new discovery about the properties of light, it commands my attention.
I think that’s what’s called a category error.
No.
Next question.
Most people will believe in God until they become immortal. One just doesn’t know what is on the other side.
