Scientific reasons for belief in God v moral arguments against belief
by yadda yadda 2 ini have to admit that i do find it very very hard to believe there is no 'god' or higher intelligent power or cosmic force of some kind behind it all.
at the very last a non-personal einstein or spinoza version of god.

it seems to me that believers here mostly agree with you qcmbr about the magnificence of scientific discoveries and the progress this has enabled - I reckon they would also agree with you about the dangers of superstitious thinking. It is just that the scientific method does not address epistemologcial questions because it cannot - philosophy and religion do and therefore complement science.

science isn't only about the scientific method - this is quite reductive and most assuredly isn't all that science is about. A huge aspect of science is experimental nature testing the limits to which it can go. Both religion and science agree on one thing - that the scientific method can only go so far
science is an exciting subject - you guys make it sound boring

oh my - google chrome doesn't let me cut and paste whilst IE gives me blank posts
okay here is my gem from the link Yadda yadda provided in his opening post. I enjoyed this so much
http://www.godevidence.com/2012/04/5611/
"The problem is that the scientistic [not to be confused with “scientific”] belief that we can only know what science can tell us seems to be something that science cannot tell us. How can one set up a scientific experiment to demonstrate the truth of T1 [“T1” is Stenmark’s symbol for the premise, “The only kind of knowledge that we can have is scientific knowledge.”] What methods in, for instance, biology or physics are suitable for such a task? Well, hardly those methods that make it possible for scientists to discover and explain electrons, protons, genes, survival mechanisms and natural selection. Furthermore, it is not because the content of this belief is too small, too distant, or too far in the past for science to determine its truth-value (or probability). Rather it is that beliefs of this sort are not subject to scientific inquiry. We cannot come to know T1 by appeal to science alone. T1 is rather a view in the theory of knowledge and is, therefore, a piece of philosophy and not a piece of science. But if this is the case, then T1 is self-refuting. If T1 is true, then it is false. T1 falsifies itself."
