Just because things can be explained naturally, doesn't mean that they weren't created by a supernatural being ( in the sense of being outside nature). This is a physical world and things can be observed and analyzed. But that doesn't *disprove* the existence of God. The idea that as we come to an understanding of what things are and how they work, chips away at the support for the existence of God, is foolishness. I'm certainly glad that the superstition that existed and resulted from ignorance of the natural world and how it works is gone. But OTOH, we don't want to trade it for a whole other kind of ignorance and evil. Religion needs science to help prevent superstition and science needs religion as a conscience.

Thanks for your thoughts. Very Einsteinian phrasing - I liked it. But his definition of religion was developed carefully in his essay "Cosmic Religion."
