My view and reasons for them. Atheist and Christians welcome here. (short)

[Quick]

I am not saying there is a God creature. God may just be that which explains the unexplainable.

What you are describing is a panacea. But in reality, a panacea explains nothing.

Wouldn't it be more intellectually honest to just admit when we do not have an explanation, instead of sticking in something that does not explain a thing? You could just as well say, "falmbo may just be that which explains the unexplainable", and you have changed nothing.

Remember, your god 'explanation' was once used to explain: lightning, earthquakes, famine, disease, floods, etc. All have since been actually explained by using evidence and reason.

 

Had to look up what panacea was. I supposed that is one way to look at it. What I am doing is providing an explanation to things that cannot be explain and I don't have a problem with that. I am not saying what I am doing does nothing. That is what you are saying what I am doing is. Intellectual honesty is a tricky thing because we have so many different things that are pushing and pulling on us to direct what we do that we can't always make the best intellectually honest thing because in essence, it doesn't apply to the situation.

God may be the force that drives the universe to work the way it does.

Nature seems to be a fine explanation for that.

Why put the "god" label on it?

Sure, you can call it nature, but then nature is something that is limited to a specific function and the idea of God is not. What I mean is that The complexities of the universe may be explain by a God. Nature is just a process rather than a cause.
