Ex-"New Atheist", Now Christian

[Love]

Why do Christian and Muslim arguments for accepting their god always devolve into arguments from ignorance or arguments from incredulity? That's a terrible foundation for anything.

I agree, but I do not consider my position as an argument from ignorance. After years of researching these topics, I have gained a lot of knowledge in many scientific disciplines including physics, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, psychiatry and psychopharmacology. As a computer science student, I also have a keen interest in artificial intelligence (specifically the research area of artificial consciousness) and theoretical computer science (Big O, binary logarithms, probability theory et cetera). I am very, very fond of all scientific disciplines; I always have been and always will be. I am also very, very fond of philosophy, hence the reason why I am engaging in these discussions. Although I might be proved wrong in the future, I hold the belief that there are certain areas that science cannot, and will never be able to, adequately explain; there will always be multiple interpretations of the available evidence. Accounting for the strange behaviour of subatomic particles (photons and electrons) at the quantum level, consciousness and love are three examples that spring to mind. So you might ask: why invoke God to fill the gap? Because it is what makes the most sense to me; inference to the best explanation (abductive logic).
