My case against Creationism and Infinite regression

[Drich]

Here's your problem, The same argument can be made of 'science.' Instead of having God to fill the gaps you crutch in science to fill the same gaps. I know on the surface science can be used to explain the discernible, but when it comes to things out of our reach (say origins/big bang) you are in no better shape than a creationist who says "God did it." Why? because you still have an un-caused, cause. In the case of the believer God speaks the universe into existence. where science is god, you have a "basket ball" explode and everything that is comes from said basket ball. If as you say their isn't an infinite regression then your left with the answer "science says so" when someone asks what caused the big bang.

So then how is that position any more tenable than "God did it?"

Science will always be a better method for knowledge in any field than just postulating some entity we have no empirical evidence for.

Again you guys don't seem to understand that 'empirical evidence' can be manuplited to say anything the man funding the 'science' wants it to say.

In the 1940s 9 doctors out of 10 said smoking is healthy.
In the 1930s German Scientists discovered that the Aryans were pinicale of human evolution/The master race.
In the 1960s dumping toxic waste in the ocean was said to have no negitive effect.
In the 1970s Their was going to be a minnie Ice age by 2000 (global cooling)
In the 1980 Their was a hole in the Ozone that would never close (till we taxed comsumers enough and it did)
Then in the late 1990s Global warming started.
Then by 2010 the phrase was changed to global climate change so whether it gets warmer or colder "science" and continue to claim the sky is falling and tax consumers till we have nothing left to tax.

Your god "science" is a whore that follows who or whatever has the most money, and will say anything for 'more funding.'

So if be 'better method of knowledge' you mean a conduit for propaganda and social control, then yes I agree.
