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?"
In every case where we've found the answer to something in nature, it has actually turned out to be natural. In science, the question isn't considered answered until it is both understood and confirmed by evidence.
Do you Really think God can only be defined by your stereotype?
Quote:The problem with explaining the origin of the universe isn't with finding answers that work mathematically and match the available evidence; it's that there are multiple 'answers' (hypotheses) that we don't have a way of confirming with evidence yet. If we never do, the answer to the question, scientifically, will be 'We don't know' forever.Science doesn't pretend to have answers when it doesn't.That's completely untrue. I've seen video of 'heavy weight scientists' completely slamming other theories on the size and approximate mass of the universe before the 'big bang' happened. How could anyone possibly know this 1 and 2 who gives a squirt? The point is heavyweights like Hawkings and krauss do make claims and stand on them as truth, and defend them religiously.
Quote: That is what makes it more tenable than clinging to a cultural construct made by people who didn't know the earth orbits the sun.
Apples and oranges. You are making a scientific comparison on a book of religious philosophy. False equivocation sport.
