I Have Something to Say

“Has anyone provided proof of God’s inexistence? Not even close.
Has quantum cosmology explained the emergence of the universe or why it is here? Not even close.
Have our sciences explained why our universe seems to be fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life? Not even close.
Are physicists and biologists willing to believe in anything so long as it is not religious thought? Close enough.
Has rationalism and moral thought provided us with an understanding of what is good, what is right, and what is moral? Not close enough.
Has secularism in the terrible 20th century been a force for good? Not even close, to being close.
Is there a narrow and oppressive orthodoxy in the sciences? Close enough.
Does anything in the sciences or their philosophy justify the claim that religious belief is irrational? Not even in the ball park.
Is scientific atheism a frivolous exercise in intellectual contempt? Dead on.”

God's existence cant be proven any more than it can be disproven.
Science, I mean true science is the persuit of truth, and if God is real, whom. the Bible descrbes as the embodiment of truth, any one searching for truth, and if God is real, the they will indeed find the truth, they will come to but one conclusion.

@Groofydorkgerdo: before one can even embark upon such a discussion, it is very important for all parties to agree on the definitions of the subjects being discussed.

@canadarm: There is but one subject and that is God, but yeah I concure, a universal agreement on whatever 'God' is should be agreed apoun.
