Your barkign upm the wrong tree. It's the supernaturalists who cannot see natural explanations for things who are the ones who have an inability to see.

> God wants us to understand the world

POssibly. If so, God gave Man the ability to reason and use science to discover how things work. Those who reject reason and science would thus be rejecting God.

It is at least a two sided problem... you have a contribution too...

I would not have put it that way - I would have said their vision of God is too small if they think he can be harmed or disrespected by using our talents to examine the world and trying to understand how it works.

"Those who reject reason and science would thus be rejecting God."

So you don't reject God? I never thought you did really.
