Subject: RE: BS: I Love this Idea
Anyone who thinks that God created anything at all is inserting him rudely into a place that contravenes science. In effect you're saying that you're so uncertain about science that a far more outlandish explanation for everything is more likely. Or, in extreme cases, certain (see pete). It's a denial of reason and a scuppering of intellect. You see God as a better explanation for the existence of everything than the one that science provides. And it really is either-or, regardless of Joe's protests. There has never been the slightest hint, looking at the inexorable progress of science over millennia, that there is any natural phenomenon that can't eventually yield to scientific explanation, given sufficient time and the exponential continuation of that progress. The only phenomena that can never yield to science are the fake ones placed beyond science by religion.
