“God”

One can posit “multiverses” or “life is a computer simulation” and they are considered hipsters or deep-thinkers.

But if you mention God - or simply a creator, you’re merely a kook.

Not a kook.

I like to think of myself as a Christian Intellectual in the mold of Saint Augustine of Hippo. Not afraid of science and I believe God is the Perfect Architect and Designer, and science is the tool He uses to create things.

The idea of God ‘snapping his fingers” to “Hocus-Pocus” something into existence is a child’s thinking.

Note that the Bible doesn’t give us God’s exact recipe for anything he created, even man is raised from dust and breathed into, but what kind of dust, how the air was breathed, all remain not described. Science tells us how.

When one uses their mind/soul/spirit (which was made in God’s image) to examine creation one realizes that the Laws of the Universe; physics, botany, biology, astronomy, chemistry, etc., are ALL God’s laws and ways! And yes, even evolution, although many think that only Atheists believe the evolutionary process of life on Earth, but it is actually God’s method, not some totally random long series of events.

Imagine a master billards player, who, before taking the first shot and breaking the triangle, called every ball and every pocket, and then just did so.

Such is God’s use of his tools to create life.
