  God's Word and Modern Man

  i have drawn the conclusion that when god speaks, he is using the language and the concepts of the time.

  he is not revealing a new scientific understanding when he speaks.

  that would be distracting from the point being made.

  Filling the gaps with faith adds nothing useful. Maybe not for you but it does for me. Night Cofty, thanks for the debate.

  I don't believe that science rejects God. For some it does. One day we might all have the answers. At the moment we don't. Life is for living and enjoying, we can sometimes get too tied up in trying to find those elusive answers, so that we waste our lives trying to figure it all out. I'm not talking about those scientists for whom it's their life's work and who enjoy every moment of discovery... but I'm no scientist, just someone who enjoys learning a little about what someone else has discovered. Beyond that it becomes pointless, where it's all just conjecture.

  What have you read on the subject recently? Nothing yet... I'm too busy enjoying myself by reading a Jeffrey Archer novel. Sorry!

  I agree with that too Cofty. When I started out I didn't believe in evolution, now I do, based on evidence. But science can neither prove nor disprove the existence of God. Nor can it give us the answers about abiogenesis.

  Everyone has to come to their own conclusions. Yes, certain christian religions do criticise other religions but do they have that right? I don't think anyone has the right to decide what someone else should believe, it's a personal thing. Religion is very very wrong to oppress others and inflict their beliefs on others. As for faith, I think it's a very personal thing.

  Why is believing God exists lying to oneself? In the universe there is order, complexity and precise mathematical formulae. That evidence tells me that God exists.

  Who says that faith is pretending to know the answers? It's the opposite. Faith is all about NOT knowing the answers. Science can give us the answers to many things but there are many questions it can't answer.

  Yes, but only after he felt there had to be something more than just science. Science doesn't answer ALL the questions. There were things he felt science couldn't tell him, he explored those areas and came to his own conclusions. You say he came to his conclusions by reading C S lewis, yet you came to your conclusions by reading Dawkins... (and others)
