The scientists who are studying these issues are the one's whose opinions count. That's harsh, but that's the way it works in science.

LOLOL! I laugh at the arrogance of science.

What happens on this earth is insignificant over the age of the universe much less eternity.

A thing only matters if God wills it. His opinion is the only one that counts.

To God be the glory.


I see that you have now abandoned even the pretense of doing science or of following the scientific method.

Methodological naturalism sets the boundary of science to that which science can address, i.e. to whatever extent nature is knowable and predictable, whatever the explanation for a thing is, it will be natural, or material, or physical.

It is not reality, it is a reduction of it. The reduction is tied to physical causation per se.

To paraphrase and extend the wisdom of Bohr, "meaning" is the domain of theology and philosophy. Or to put it another way, science looks for facts whereas theology/philosophy looks for truth.

Also, the many Jewish and Christians scientists over the ages (and upon whose shoulders scientists of today now stand) - understood their limitations without abandoning their faith in God.
