God invented natural laws and physics. What makes people think that He and science are incompatible?

Exactly. The only ones who would argue with that are Scientists who think they are god, or young Earthers who insist that God had to do it "by the book" so to speak.

God is God. As far as I'm concerned, He can do it any way he wants.

Two good books to read on how physics explains the existence of God are Jesus and the big bang, and The Science of God. Both really show how the Bible is spot on and debunk the naysayers.

I don’t believe creationists are trying to destroy science.
I don’t believe life science is trying to destroy faith.

The more I learn about God’s natural world the more in awe I am in his creative power. Science is the tool that helps us appreciate what He reveals about Himself to us through His creation.

I call for a cease fire and good will on both sides. I don’t even see the basis for sides.

The argument is really about the information content of life: where did it come from? Life is not life without the inherent information in RNA and DNA.

Non-theistic evolution says that biological material is self-organizing. This has not been the results of experiments (Miller-Urey "filtered" the results and is not valid). There isn't a naturalistic explanation for life if the material is not self-organizing.

If biological material is not self-organizing, who put the information into life? The believer says, "God", the creator of the universe.

Scientists who want to discount God don't have another answer, which is why the panspermia hypothesis has become popular. But that just pushes the origin of life question back by one planet: if someone seeded Earth, where did that someone come from?

Arrogance.

I agree. The same God who wrote the 10 Commandments is the same God that created the DNA molecule.
