Scientific explanation of God - would be nice.

until we scientifically know what God consists of [or not], the theory that this force/entity has some bearing on evolution in its origins or/and its progression in a darwinian manner [or not].. then the theory - like Darwin's THEORY should not be discounted - no need

"we believe this theory to be valid - this theory of god" - surely is a scientific faith ..

I say the intelligent stand point is that until we know the finer points of inner space we cannot disprove the existance of the entity known as God / allah /jah / budha etc.. just as we cannot disprove Darwin's theory of evolution.

so one can believe what one likes - one or the other or as in my case - both and leave it at that

for what it is worth I have a theory that the force for creation is in antagonistic harmony with the force for [or probability of] destruction of life [known as d'evil]. These conflicting / opposing possibilities are in antagonism [ life will continue on this planet or it will end - as must have happened on countless planets.. with the same possibilities in conflict with each other].

If Darwin was right and mutations drive evolution: they [mutations] are driven by chance. This probability starts at sub atomic level - - and would have done at the dawn of the universe... therein lie the influence[s]yet to be understand by science and there I believe we might find what we talk of as divine influence..

Most religions are based around the faith that some sort of prayer can influence destiny...perhaps we can plug into this level.

so two unknowns for science to prize open to solve it all : 1/ inner wokings of the mind ...esp - and 2/ sub atomic probability.
the understanding of the first might explain how/if the minds of the most highly evolved of life forms when combined / focused can influence [divine intervention] what I see as the lynch pin Of life itself - the second that needs to be understood : probability at sub atomic level.

My bet is that there is no such thing as randomness or chance, when you get down to it - ultimately everything has a cause. I believe as science nears its goal of total knowledge on a minute level it will actually [as I've suggested] discover [what] God [is].

I think "in my infinite wisdom" [geddit] what we call divine will be seen to be part of a [scientifically understood] process of life/death. [I know its pompous and unresearched but there it is - a theory]

Perhaps by understanding it we will lose [the need for]faith and therefore dispel the mythology and it won't work any more - hence the teaching of the importance of faith to move mountains is valid from a scientific point-of view!! Jesus Christ .. I mean wo! heavy maan

So given that we have so many unknowns - why not stop arguing and try to figure it out. It's like 2 kids arguing over whether they think its a stick or a cricket bat over the brook - energy better spent figuring out a way over the brook. I'll make the tea.

we probaby never will - it is beyond us - so we will have to settle for faith - scientifically proven to work - somehow!

... and here's some flotsum from the eddit...

the story in bible of genesis "geddit!" is actually quite a good portrayal of evolution in terms of storytelling as it was when written - i.e. not literal [though now it's litera..ture - it sadly has been taken so ..]

by taking it literally they give atheists a rod to beat them with - ..

- apparently 'intelligent design' was "evolved" no "created" to counter this rod - by by selling creationism [literal 7 day story!!] as scientific ...with a super- natural element ..[and a related legal wriggle out]...

this tends to tar any rational argument about divine involvement in creation with the same brush to a degree - not helpfull

all this hardening of positions building up ramparts - can't back down etc silly. ... wars - religious especially .. etc. etc

teach it thus too - they are options theories. Don't ram anything down any throats let the data mature and see what ... evolves..

[some religions ram it down the throat [bible literal] so they spit it out hard to decide 4 selves - but still have a gagging reflex when they do try 2 swallow 4 selves - ruined free choice - ! basic human ..right !!]

no doubt with hindsight we will find that we had part of the picture
