Did Dawkins and Tyson say that and what are the implications.

RE: Did Dawkins and Tyson say that and what are the implications.
Mark 13:13 Wrote:The answer you will get is that God is beyond our comprehension and that all we can ever know about God is what God reveals to us through certain individuals he chooses to use for the purpose. God is the big boss and he gives the information on a need to know basis as God defines it not us.

In another thread, you and I were discussing science and Bible interpretations. I proposed that the more you try and align the Bible to scientific knowledge, the further away you get from this.. errr... "unique" personal god. You told me that Jesus Christ by definition makes you be in a personal relationship with the Creator of the Cosmos.

Do your homework and ask him for an answer instead of shrugging and saying "God works in mysterious ways". Convenient answers like that usually tell me that you purposely avoid finding any sort of answer to e.g. the question asked because it would replace the charm of his "mysteriousness" with the sobering reality that no god is behind the coincidental events you attribute to his "mysterious ways".
