paleonet faith and scepticism



“since God is truth, He shouldn't be left out of scientific work”

 

Why should your god have a place in science when I am sure that no christian would even consider the insertion into science of the rainbow serpent, santa claus, the tooth fairy, Alkonost, Dazhbog or Amaterasu. Some people believe in these supernatural concepts, so why not include them instead of the christian god? Is your god better than these ‘gods’?

 

Science is about the understanding of nature and the only way gods could relate to science is when we study how the human brain works such that it sheds light on why some people need to believe in gods and others don’t.
