Let's be honest

Science contradicts much of the theist worldview - so much so that any god must hide in the gaps of our knowledge.

A scientist can be a theist one of two ways

1. Massive cognitive dissonance
   
2. Creating an unfalsifiable version of God.
   

The first is a form of insanity IMO, and unfalsifiable theories have no predictive value.  Well I guess the pragmatic value is psychological -- a hope of heaven, despite no evidence for it.

How do you see contradictions between science and a God?  I believe in a God of the whole show.

Perhaps you've chosen option 2 - the god of deism.  One that explains no scientific phenomenon, and has no effect on our lives.

But, you say you are a Christian - meaning you believe in an active God, who is in control of the universe, and who intervenes in the world.  That's a hard belief to hold without some cognitive dissonance.

I've been in Stage 1 as a True believer.  I consider myself to have been insane.  I then went to Stage 2 when I realized that the claims of an intervening God were false.  Eventually I realized is was all a myth, just like the myths humans have created for themselves throughout the ages.  We are myth-makers, especially when faced with the unknown.
