“Then you support teaching the evil-spirit theory of disease, etc”
Considering the order of the galaxies and the uniqueness of our planet—and quest for peace of mind and nations—it takes more faith to believe in something-out-of-nothing than something-out-of-Someone.
And the issue of where the original ‘nothing’ or ‘Someone’ came from or how it/He/they pre-existed as the force, cause or raw materials is not in the realm of science. And one’s faith in one or the other of these world views, whether or not acknowledged as such, affect one’s subordinate premises, actions and future.
Once one chooses to deny the materialist impossibility of something-out-of-nothing, one can build and disseminate grand theories often at enormous (Department of Education) public expense and call it ‘science’ but it’s the religion of Atheism.
Thanks for the ping!
