[[The question is whether God can be studied ysing the methods of science.]]
Who said GOD has to be studied? Forensic scientists don’t Study the intellegent creators behind the scenes- they study the RESULTS of the intelligent causer- They look for, and discover the tell-tale fingerprints of the intelligence behind the scenes- in NO way do they have to prove or even study the intelligent causer
Forensic science -- the same science that convicts criminals using DNA -- establishes common descent. Even Michael Behe admits that.
