Agreed - but lots of folks will hold onto a theory tightly in spite of the new data.

I believe that God created everything. The “how” is what science is trying to figure out, and ultimately leads to answers on how we can do things and create things ourselves.

A quote from Sir Isaac Newton:

From this fountain (the free will of God) it is those laws, which we call the laws of nature, have flowed, in which there appear many traces of the most wise contrivance, but not the least shadow of necessity. These therefore we must not seek from uncertain conjectures, but learn them from observations and experimental. He who is presumptuous enough to think that he can find the true principles of physics and the laws of natural things by the force alone of his own mind, and the internal light of his reason, must either suppose the world exists by necessity, and by the same necessity follows the law proposed; or if the order of Nature was established by the will of God, the [man] himself, a miserable reptile, can tell what was fittest to be done.

Newton is my favorite scientist-theologian. He summed it up with the epigram, “Nature’s Laws are God’s Thoughts.”
