There actually are respected scientists like the cosmologist and physicist Don Page that have contributed to fundamental scientific knowledge while still being devout Christians. They have simply learned to practice their faith while still approaching scientific work from a naturalist perspective.

Most scientists are naturalists that believe the simplest explanation for things should be the reasonable choice. They are quite willing to accept a supernatural explanation for causal events in the world if this is a necessary and sufficient explanation.

That doesn’t mean that faith beliefs aren’t significant in terms of human culture, ethics, and coping with mortality, it just means that naturalism is a better perspective to adopt to understand the natural world.

The whole point of science is to discover the design. If everything is random, why bother?

When I was young, I said to God, ‘God, tell me the mystery of the universe.’ But God answered, ‘That knowledge is for me alone.’ So I said, ‘God, tell me the mystery of the peanut.’ Then God said, ‘Well George, that’s more nearly your size.’ And he told me.

How the Church Suppressed Science

Science is almost never settled, esp biological science. Huge exception: we KNOW there are only 2 human sexes, and humans do not transform.

Science mostly isn’t settled because it is not all known. People keep working at it. New discoveries are made. Old knowledge is superseded. Again, think of biological knowledge. Nutritional info is constantly changing. Eggs became bad, then became good again. Cholesterol was bad, then they discovered different types.

Don’t let these commie jackasses hand us their sanctimonious “science is real” garbage. When they acknowledge only 2 sexes, and a fetus has heartbeat by 6 weeks, I’ll listen to them.
