Science is a good thing, of which there will be no end.
My theory is that God is so far beyond us that we are only scratching the surface of what He prepared for us.
The scientists must not be so smart.
They will be fine as long as they are willing to follow the evidence.
Yet you seem to have put His allowable operations into a very tiny box which excludes the most straightforward interpretations.
For the vast majority, that is the case. There are a few who become celebrities who like to make philosophical conclusions. A big part of the problem is journalists who constantly goad famous people into saying something controversial.
In this, we are in agreement.
