“. Or better yet, demonstrate it experimentaly.”

And when they do, will you become an athesit?

You couldn’t handle the math.

Explore natural phenomena, to understand how nature and all of creation functions.

While I am a part of creation, science doesn’t prove or disprove my existence.

If scientist can prove man caused globule warning they can disprove god.

That which calls itself science is in conflict with God, but that’s because the neo-pagans have renamed their religion “science,” and if you reject any of their dogmas you become anti-science.

In logic, you cannot use a premise to prove itself.

Science was founded upon the belief in a Lawgiver who governs the universe with natural Laws. It is irrational to say that laws exist without a lawgiver.

Thus, science is founded upon the assumption that there is a Lawgiver (God). This means you cannot use science to prove there is a God (since God’s role was assumed to establish science in the first place), but it also means it is irrational to argue that science proves there is no God (since that would contradict the founding premise of science in the first place).

The argument of Dawkins and company is basically “We are certain the universe obeys laws, therefore there cannot be a Lawgiver.” Which is exactly as stupid as it sounds.

That's why I could never read Dawkins. He would shoot his own argument in the foot faster than I could and I would wonder how anyone could take him seriously and put the book down.

And Dawkins added: "What's truly wonderful is that it came about without being designed. If it had been designed, anybody could do that, it's the fact that it came about just through the laws of physics, naturalism is what's so wonderful about it."

So the natural laws of the universe that didn't exist were what made it possible for the universe to come about without anything bringing it about?

Sadly, this is typical of the best Dawkins has got.

I suspect that Bill Maher is in the process of accumulating a very large negative balance on the “Payment Due” pages of the books that will be opened at God’s Great White Throne judgment . . . (Revelation 20:12-15).

Maybe Dawkins would like to explain where physics and energy came from.

a Lawgiver who governs the universe with natural Laws

Not trying to bait you, or challenge you or even to disagree.

I don't try to or even care to question "the peace which passeth all understanding"--in my poor faltering sinful way I am simply content to have faith in God and to try to leave His ways to Him.

But your posts are interesting and thoughtful and I am curious as to where your statement above leaves in you in regard to free will.

Truly, I'm not trying to be a wise guy. I'm just guessing that it is something you have given considerable thought to.

Thanks.

Science can only reveal the magnificence of his creation and how irrelevant we are in it.

Try me. Where did the laws of physics originate? How do we have confidence that they will be the same tomorrow?

Don’t make logically unsupportable assumptions about what I can or cannot understand. My ability in no way impacts your ability or knowledge.
