So your terminology is nothing new.

Good things are the work of God and bad things are the work of the devil.

Meanwhile, nothing helpful or scientific comes out of these ridiculous regressions except another opportunity for you to play expert on another issue you're clueless about.

My challenges stands. Name one scientific instance where invoking God has helped explain anything.

If we first assume God doesn’t exist, then God doesn’t explain anything.

But if we assume he does exist, then he explains everything.

To bring another example: let’s say you go out for a night to see a live band with your favorite companion. You’re not going to give much thought to the mechanism of how the music interacts with your body and your brain to produce pleasure. You’re going to be focused on the band members who are the agents of the performance.

And you’re not going to ponder the physical or psychological mechanism of how the company of your friend or spouse produces enjoyment for you. You’re simply going to enjoy that person’s company. The agent of companionship.
