This whole "science can't explain everything" attitude kills me. "Science can't explain everything, therefore god" - is basically the argument.
I suppose this really speaks to the whole supernatural vs. natural worldview thing. Nature encompasses all that exists.. so if something is beyond nature, that means it is fantasy.
Religious folks will speak about god being "outside of our dimension" as if they have total understanding of what they're saying and yet will, in the same breath, tell you that carbon dating is bullshit. Jesus fucking Christ these people drive me up a wall sometimes.
I agree with all of this but am always dumbfounded by the sense of entitlement the part I bolded represents. It is as if there was some general agreement that everything in the world should be comprehensible to our species. The universe owes us answers so where attempts to actually discover what they are fall short assuming whatever you like becomes reasonable. Well, it isn't reasonable to reasonable people.
