Are you really going to believe that we're not going to call you out on singling out evolution and abiogenesis for critical analysis because they don't allow for the supernatural when anyone here who has had any level of a decent education already knows that nothing in science can consider the supernatural?

That's why critiques of scientific explanations for human origins and the rise of various forms of life, which incorporate the supernatural, should not be ridiculed for being unscientific. The subject matter is broader than the natural sciences. Science is too narrow a tool for the study of these subjects.

While you are at it, add earthquakes tornados, and all the other things science hasn't mastered.

If there's a gap in our ability to predict these phenomena, then they must be sent by God to punish the wicked.

Any explanation that incorporates the supernatural is inherently unscientific.

Don't tell me that you've not been around these discussions long enough to know this.

OK, let's parse this.

If "science is too narrow a tool for the study of these subjects", then doesn't it follow that critiques of explanations for human origins that include the supernatural are therefore "unscientific".

What you're asking for is the redefinition of science, at the behest of those who are outside the field.

It's no wonder scientists take offense at such intrusion.
