PING!
Suppose biologists were to suddenly, en masse, agree with this position. How, then, would they be able to determine the difference between questions whose only possible answer is "God made it that way", and questions for which a less terse answer is appropriate?
Remember the comic, Flip Wilson? One of his most famous lines was "The devil made me do it!". The slightly serious undertone of that was, of course, if the devil made him do it, he wasn't responsible for what he did, and the result of his not being responsible for what he did was that he couldn't be blamed or punished for it. "The devil made me do it!" is both a discussion stopper and an 'out'.
I fear that "God made it that way", when invoked in what ought to be a scientific context, serves the same function.
Chemistry is a wonderful science.
Cellulose, does it form abiotically?
Thanks for the ping!
