Wait a minute...science is at odds with a belief in God as the origin of abiogenesis?
Well, in the post I was referring specifically to evolution.
But sure, if and when science discovers how abiogenesis works on a chemical level without any "outside help", then that would be at odds with the idea that a god came down from the sky and
manufactured life.
Just like evolution is at odds with a god that comes down from the sky to conjure up new species.
Just like the sciences dealing with storms and tides is at adds with gods like Poseidon.
Of course certain religious beliefs contradict science...but others don't.
So in terms of the OP, what's your take?
Like I said:
It seems to me that science doesn't require abandoning / breaking with god(s) in general.
But it certainly is at odds with
some versions of gods.
The more "interventionist" the god, the more science will be at odds with it.
The more "deistic" the god, the less science will be at odds with it.
And why would you pick up a post that's actually trying to address the OP, and take it to task based on your memory, and the general point that some religious beliefs contradict science?
Because I felt the poster wasn't being honest / accurate about his position.
It's simply not correct to state that one is "fine with science", while in reality one is rejecting the unified field theory of the biological sciences.
And I have psychological problems with leaving (what I perceive to be) BS unchallenged.
