[Ichneumon]

Science is a very good way of trying to understand all that God has created. It is, however, a very ineffective way of disproving God's existence.

Science makes no such attempt, nor do most people apply science to that pursuit.

Stick around these threads for any length of time however, and you'll meet plenty of people who seem awfully defensive about their deity, see "attacks" whenever science is simply being discussed, and try to disprove the parts of science which they apparently have trouble reconciling with their view of their deity.

[Texas Songwriter]

Perhaps you could help Mr. Dimensio in explaining the answer to my question. I assure you I am not defensive about my deity. I do not see science as an attack on my faith. I simply have not yet seen either of you answer my simple question from your platform of science.So please explain to me what was the very beginning...you know where the universe and all that is in it began. Once your science convinces me I will be pulled to your side and will advocate what you teach me, if it is truth.

You are quite right, science makes no such attempt, but I am afraid that many people do. There are a lot of people in the world who want to apply the right answer to the wrong question.
