@baustein Just because science can explain how an event happens doesn't explain their timing... if you wanted to use that argument during the exodus from Egypt with all of the plagues hitting her when they did... would they be less from God? We can scientifically explain how the Jews crossed the red sea... doesn't take away that it still came from God. We can scientifically and rationally explain the creation of Mankind as well... we do the same thing in our science labs today. So again, just because we can rationally explain something through science doesn't take away from God.

Sort:  

No it doesn't take away from god, and it doesn't prove god either. Weird random timing happens, so therefore it has to be god. Is that what you're saying? Again, there were already different kinds of preachers in the past that interpreted certain timings of events as some kind of sign that the world is soon ending. And yet we are still here. And yes, being able to explain things actually did disprove certain biblical beliefs, like how the whole Earth was supposedly flooded for instance. That never happened. Not everything can be explained yet, sure, but I don't accept that god of the gaps philosophy, where everything yet unknown has to be the work of god. Personally I don't even deny the possibility of a creator, but I doubt that it's the same creator described in the bible or any other religion.
