“It is not a strawman that many have correctly pointed out that it is the view of God as the creator of an ordered universe that obeys the laws that HE set down that has made Jewish and Christian individuals and cultures such fertile ground for scientific progress”
Of course it’s a strawman, because no one has argued that somehow God or anyone that believes in God is anti-science as evos contend or that the Judeo-Christian cultures have somehow been UN-scientific just because they understand scripture, or rightly recognize design.
Just like it’s not anti-scientific to understand God is greater than science.
When you contort yourself into such pretzels...
well, as was pointed out dreamer, your point is actually received crystal clear and is exactly what’s bringing you down!
God is greater than science. In defense of an imagined strawman you put up a Oz worthy one. For your further knowledge on the use of the term, something you USE frequently but obviously don't understand; putting up an argument that you wish to address but that your nobody else has said is an actual “strawman”.
