In reality, (true) science may not be able to disprove God, but it gives us much evidence that He does exist! | |
| Mar 27 at 9:22 | comment | added | Anne | @Matthew There are great numbers of scientists all over the world who DO believe in one, creator God. But if you only listen to the New Atheists, you would never think that to be the case. I have several modern books written written by scientists from a whole range of disciplines, and they are committed Christians - the tip of a scientific 'iceberg' that New Atheists give a wide berth to, aiming instead for 'soft targets'. Science can say nothing against God; that's outside its remit. The scientists you refer to have strayed into metaphysics. | |
| Mar 26 at 20:57 | comment | added | Matthew | "Science ... counsels us to carry alternative hypotheses in our heads and see which ones best match the facts." As long as "God exists" isn't allowed to be one of those hypotheses! ...because "science" is certain that God doesn't exist. So much for not being arrogant. | |
