Re: Re-Designer
Just as there are no constraints placed on the Higgs field that is used by science to produce our universe.
So what is the problem?
Is my Creator not allowed the same privilages as your creator?
Firstly the limitations of evidence and observation apply to the Higgs boson and all other scientific theories. So to say that there are no constraints is obviously wrong. The Higgs field will eventually be abandoned if no empirical evidence is found for it. The LHC has been built to examine exactly this sort of question.
If you want your God to be judged on the same standards of observation, testing and evidence then that is fine.......
Somehow I doubt that you would like the results........

Re: Re-Designer
The problem is that none of the participants in the experiment can report their findings.
In that case there is only your assumption that the experiment actually exists and that there are any findings to report.
Then be replaced by a different name as there must be a creator for the universe to come into being. Makes no difference what you call 'it'.
Well whatever 'it' eventually is we can be sure that it will be tested and verified. Or if we don't have anything sufficiantly reliable to qualify as 'it' we will continue to admit we do not know and keep searching. Almost certainly contributing to and enhancing the sum total of human knowledge in the process.
