[Telepathic Intruder]

Atheists misuse science by saying it disproves God, while theists misuse religion by viewing science as its enemy. There is a middle ground in which religion and science are not mutually exclusive, however. In fact they can be complimentary. There is no scientific explanation for what started the Big Bang in the first place, so there is still plenty of room for God in the creation of the universe.

Agreed 1,000%.

That has been the orthodox position since at least Augustine ... and probably prior to Augustine as well, but he's the one who formally wrote it down. Atheists who don't acknowledge this are simply jousting with strawmen, which is in fact what most of them do.

...

Actually, there is an explanation, a quantum fluctuation. What can’t be explained is the vacuum and its properties that allow the fluctuation to happen. Fining tuning is a related problem that’s yet to be solved.

Well said.
