Dr Adequate writes:
Yes, it's puzzling isn't it? Buzsaw apparently wants his god to be "scientific" in the sense that he's bound by the laws of thermodynamics. But it's hard to see why. If he was bound by the laws of hydrodynamics as well then Jesus would have sunk when he tried to walk on water. The ability to suspend the laws of nature is surely one of the most important qualifications for being a god. But Buz doesn't seem to see it that way.
I could not agree more. Why don't the fundies just call the whole deal a miracle and quit interfering with science? It is as if their faith is so weak, they must mess with obvious facts in order to justify their own position.
If the literalists lack faith, it is not the responsibility of science, or indeed any other perspective, to buck up their lack of intestinal fortitude.
I view the whole deal as 'You bought it bud, you own it, now own up to it.'
Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon
