Did you ever wonder how the scientific method, the success of which has put rovers on Mars and made it possible through MRI to look inside the body without cutting it, is nonetheless seen as completely inadequate when it comes to investigating anything that bumps up against religious beliefs?

Science is a wonderful tool with which to explore the physical world. Since God is spirit, of course, science is not an appropriate tool with which to explore Him and His character.

That said, all of creation speaks of His existence.

Since God is spirit, of course, science is not an appropriate tool with which to explore Him and His character.

Why wouldn't it be appropriate to examine what God has created in order to learn about Him?

I didn’t say science investigated God (and he certainly didn’t invent science). I said investigations bump up against religion, as in biology and natural selection, at which point the scientific method is deemed a god-hating fantasy.

Yet that same set of procedural processws has marvelous applications and accomplishments in other fields of human exploration. Odd, that.
