When you believe that matter created life you are then subject to all sorts of weird ideas. Trying to solve the questions of the universe by only investigating matter will lead you to a dead end. For that matter multiverse and string theory are indistinguishable from theology.

“When you believe that matter created life you are then subject to all sorts of weird ideas.”

I totally agree. Most of the great physicists of history have come to this same conclusion. You are not going to prove God by breaking down atoms or looking at galactic clusters or observing the physical laws of our universe. Religion is a matter of faith and nothing else.

However, i do believe that there are physical “laws” in this world and moral laws in this life. I believe God created this universe and is therefore already perfect.

I have never personally witnessed a physical “miracle”. And i am somewhat skeptical of claims of physical “miracles”. If you don’t believe me, pray as much as you like and go jump off a building and we will continue the discussion.

It reminds me of the ol saying about the guy that kept praying to win the lottery, and then God came to him one morning in a divine revelation and told the man he needed to “buy a lottery ticket. Or at least it might help.”
