am certain, with all of my heart, that He created this amazing and glorious and very difficult to comprehend universe... but he made it on His timetable, and in His way... not subjet to the limitations of whatever was written thousands of years ago in ways that pre-scientific homo sapiens on this one tiny, remote planet might understand.

First assumption you make is that mankind was not as "smart" as we are today.

Second assumption you make is that God could not explain His universe to man in a way man would understand it.

The Bible is full of science and astronomy. All you have to do is read.

from the article: "The scientific findings I cited aren’t 'proof' that compel belief in God’s existence but 'signs' pointing to that possibility and inviting you to follow them to see where they might lead."

ealgeone: "The Bible is full of science and astronomy."

Sure, but it's the "science" and astrology of ancient Babylon or Egypt, having nothing to do with what we today call "natural science".

In fact, while the Bible is not "anti-science", it's main point -- which it hollers loudly from the hill-tops -- is that God is greater than nature itself, or any natural-science understandings we may develop of how nature works.
In short: the Bible tells us that God is above, beyond and outside of nature, and therefore of our natural-science explanations.

That's why this article's author never says "science proves", but only that it suggests with signs pointing in God's direction.
