(17,301 posts)You spinning the idea of life and self-awareness into some arbitrary philosophy is NOT proof of a God.
Just because animals and humans have life and self awareness does NOT mean there is a God. It is a leap in logic. It's like saying I have 10 fingers and toes therefore God exists.
Occam's razor does not support your argument. You make way more assumptions than I do.
Because Science has explained so many other things that people claimed God did, I believe science will eventually explain the big bang. They use to believe God made the Sun rise and fall, but then they found out it was gravity and physics. They use to believe people died from disease because they were bad and God made them die. To this day some people believe God gives you money. But then why would God give so many criminals and thieves so much wealth? I have evidence and previous experience, to state that science will expand our knowledge and our understanding of the universe.
I don't get your absolute faith thing. I know science will eventually increase our knowledge of the big bang. But it does NOT mean I pray to science and ask it to gift me with magical healing and wealth. I don't go to a building every week and and proclaim my love of science.
Just because I use rational logical thought (which according to you God gave me to use) to approach the world does NOT mean I've turned science into a religion. The Guy who says Jesus will come back has NO evidence for that. Jesus hasn't come back previously why would he come back in the future? Now if Jesus had been back 4 or 5 times through out history, that would be evidence and he could use it to prove his statement.
Of course science changes, it expands our understanding. If it were static there would be no advance or expansion of our knowledge. A static, never changing science is a failed science.
