Probably because of the intrusion of "Goddidit" into science. It's lazy, why try to figure out what happened when "Goddidit" covers everything? Even Newton, an extremely religious man, was careful not to use "Goddidit" to cover phenomena that his theories couldn't explain.
BTW, the term "God of the Gaps" (basically "Goddidit") was coined by a Christian evangelist warning Christians not to fill in what science can't yet explain with "Goddidit."
==Probably because of the intrusion of “Goddidit” into science. It’s lazy, why try to figure out what happened when “Goddidit” covers everything?
It does cover everything, but first you have to find out what God did before you can say what He did. In other words, wanting to discover what God did is arguably one of the most powerful motivations of scientific discovery in the history of science. “Godditit” certainly didn’t dull the scientific curiosity of Newton, Pasteur, Faraday, Maxwell, Boyle, Galileo, Mann, Humphreys, Sanford, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
God did it is exactly why Newton came to the conclusion that the universe was orderly and could be studied in an orderly manner.
Just because Newton arrived at a theory which explained the mechanical aspects of what we see, doesn't mean that God didn't do it and still doesn't do it.
God doing it isn't *intruding* in science. He was there in the first place and got kicked out, just like the evos and atheists have tried to get God kicked out of everything; science, public life, public schools, you name it.
There's this mentality that's shown up in the last few decades that Christians and creationists are trying to put God into science and that science is inherently and always has been, mechanistic in it's philosophy, when really, the concept that science and nature are divorced from God is fairly recent. Newton believed that you could learn more about God through the study of His creation through the scientific method.
The subject of whether God still constantly maintains and controls every little bit of matter and puts it precisely where He wants it, when he wants it, will always be a matter of philosophical debate, but neither side can say with certainty that their position is correct.
It's clear that God does interfere, for lack of a better term, in His creation on a regular basis. Miracles happen, prayer gets answered. That alone is enough for anyone to determine that God exists even if one has convinced himself that looking at nature isn't enough to figure that out.
geeee...and lemme guess... another instance of you being civil and not being insulting?
Lazy is not only asserting everything just is because...well just because, by sheer happenstance, via no intelligence, no design, with no purpose...but then you're so utterly lazy you can't even put up with having to put forth any explanations of your position so you just resort to to suing all dissenters into silence.
Errr...THAT'S lazy and most certainly not science!
