(Wikipedia 2016).That's right.
Quote:Theorem: it is wiser to let the God in the ship's hold gap, until the secular science will find the secular stop-gap. Proof: "it is just obvious." More is here:This is not a theorem and "it's just obvious" isn't any sort of rational justification, even if it were!
Quote:But while the "white spot" or the “gap” (the gap in the secular view of the world) is not closed by the secular science, let the gap be closed by the True God Himself.But since you seem to think that True God™ is a bacterium or some sort of proto-life form somewhere in the universe, how can that be an answer to anything?
Quote:If is needed, the God will make the additional room for the secular science. But why to tear the God from all the white spots? Otherwise our society (like a ship) will sink in the "sin-deeds-sea" due to huge ugly holes in the knowledge!Because not only it is not the right answer (certainly not according to your 'definition' of god) but the practice of pretending that we know what the answer is, when we clearly don't, is an obstacle to investigation of the real answers.
In an nutshell, saying 'goddidit' is laziness, ignorance or a deliberate lie. Which fits you?
