“Creator” is not a mechanism that is scientifically valid.
And there’s the rub.....science in it’s true investigative mechanisms can’t speak of arguments that can’t be proven true or false from the tools and methods we currently have available. Yet strictly speaking, a person given to such a mindset or pretends to be given to such a mind set should not be able say if there was a God who created or not. He certainly from a scientific stand point can not offer a view point as whether or not there was a ‘who” type consciousness that originated all that we call the universe since to do so would violate his scientific mind set.
Yet we find all matter of scientists or scientist wannabe writers condemning those scientists who admit to having religious viewpoints that may “color” their scientific rigorousness, according to these pre-biased antireligionists. For example, to be consistent, all genetics scientists must now throw out their science because the father of modern genetics science was a religious Catholic! Capiche...kemosabe? The creator of modern calculus was a religious Catholic. Newton searched for God! Most founders of modern science, were in fact religious in their thinking and most modern science derives from their thinking and tinkering...even Einstein believed in God.
Being religious is not antithetical to science; using supernatural explanations to account for phenomena is. Neither Mendel or Newton did that.
