my liitle rant
< > I truly don’t get it. Though I am an Atheist, and a supporter of scientific ideals, holding the current idioms to be the best explanations we have to date, I still will state that despite what I believe in regard to the existence of god, that none of what I know excludes the hand of god from being fundamentally the route cause of everything. You can support all that science has to say AND still believe that god is the sole cause of it all, you don’t loose a thing. In that light what I don’t get is the lack of willingness of those of religion to embrace that idea and recognise it for the wondrous thing that that is. Just because science and the bible don’t see eye to eye in orders and dates and specifics, doesn’t mean that the two are mutually exclusive. It just means that you just have to read the bible in a less than a 100% literal manner. We don’t know how the universe got started, we don’t, so inserting a GDI (God Did It) at the very start is just as valid as the many other strange and weird notions out there. And by being the root cause the GDI becomes the GDI for the species, the Grand Canyon, all of it. Everything is in the opening GDI. I believe that the initial GDI did not happen ”cause I believe God or any gods do not exist. But, I am willing to admit, that does not bar it from being a valid explanation as good as any other till we can get some hard evidence. So I just simply don’t get it why some religious types don’t see there is little point in denying Evolution and an old earth when there is so much evidence and placing a single GDI at the start makes the whole thing more miraculous in the first place. <>
