God is not understood at present.
So "closer too" makes no sense then?

There is no such thing as the "metaphysical" or "the supernatural". I believe all things can potentially be understood.
Ah - so you're saying that God is entirely physical.

So... why do you need God for beginnings? Why not just call them beginnings, and adopt the latest scientific theory?

I love what you said here:
"Studying creation is a way to better know the creator. Science is what brings us closer to understanding God."

There seems to be a lot of truth in it. I just feel you then flush it down the toilet from there on in. Sad
