Now the question still remains, "why is this so?"

The 'why' mode throws the inquiry into the intention aspect. Intention means intelligence, a prejudice.

Perhaps. There are, of course, why questions that don't: "Why is the sky blue?" for example.

But I think in the main it's true of the subject of this thread. I agree with those who say "if you can prove it scientifically, it isn't God" with the inverse also being true.

Science deals only with that which can be detected by the senses (and their extensions) and that has size, locations, quantity.

By definition this places God outside the realm of science.

We shouldn't forget that for all it's benefit and value, science limits itself to the smallest sphere of knowledge, we can know more than we can know by science alone. But we have to use other tools in addition to science.

thanks for your reply.
