I agree; but I do think you are being hard and unkind on the scientist; he doesn't try to disprove the existance of God; his only aim is to prove what he can, scientifically. God isn't in his equations because there is no real evidence of God. It's not his fault; he is only doing what he knows best.

I think Netdoc might have meant that a scientist ensconced in the endeavor of disproving God should have his motives checked out. He probably didn't mean to say that scientists excluding God from their equations are trying to disprove Him... that's what I got out of his post, anyway. Don't mean to speak for you or anything, Netdoc...

Thanks FatMop! That is precisely what I meant!

You can't have something just by imagining it either. And if "can't have something from nothing" is true, then what did gods become of?

I am sure actual thought was put into these statements, but somehow there was a logical disconnect when the pixels hit the screen. Someone call maintenance: we got another disconnect here!

First sentence was a fact, followed by a contradiction of "creationism" with a question. I hope that helps.

Wonderfull.
