Science has no mechanism to either include or exclude God. For those of us who are Christians or people of faith (as the majority of scientists in the USA are) it is axiomatic. ALL things in creation are of God. For those that do not share this faith, the data still speaks for itself.
I am not demanding that science be “granted” “the preeminent spot in the universe”; I merely point out that science does what it does, and what it does is science, and science cannot include God and still be science.
Yes, I think God is about 6’ 4” and really tan.
Please read the entire argument. The matter in front of us is “...could evolution be a product of God.” The answer is no, because by definition (theirs not ours) evolution understands no direction in any part of the natural selection process. It is therefore, by extension, random events unguided and directionless. These assumptions are not compatible with biblical Christianity.
I am not addressing the intention of science nor do I dispute the contention that all things are a creation of God. That is my position. When a branch of that discipline (evolutionary biology) requires the omission of the possibility of a “guide” to all events irrespective of their appearance as random, we have hit an impasse.
