Seems Virginia doesn’t dispute the facts of life she just prefers a different story. One that features a god. But the existence or non-existence of a God is not an issue that science can speak to. What science can do is challenge particular religious beliefs, like Creation, and show them to be purely mythological. Such stories are products of human beings with respect to worldviews bereft of scientific knowledge. But challenges to certain religious beliefs are not a refutation to the existence of God. God is certainly not dependent on humankind’s particular perspectives at a particular time. And scientists may deny the supernatural but some of the inexplicable behavior displayed in the quantum world could be said to be supernatural.
A new worldview is needed to be able to deal with God, religion and science with a more enlightened perspective. Such a worldview can be found in my new ebook Holistic Universe.
