But our relative ignorance is a damn good reason to deny anything beyond the physical world or some kind of greater meaning/purpose to life? Hmmm...

Quote:Like so many theists, you have a faulty understanding of the universe and what has been discovered about it.
We discovered some interesting things about it through science to be fair. It's interesting that the universe can be rationally understood by rational minds in the first place. I think there is a good reason why we can explain it as well as we're able. Not that we have even scratched the surface of it.
Quote:What "we actually know, see and study" has not pointed to god at all.
You can have that opinion though my opinion is different . I see the hand of God involved and I don't think it's really that difficult a thing to see once you appreciate what you're looking at. You can't see God directly but you can see what he made.
Quote:It has pointed to natural processes, and continues to do so.
Much like the Bible portrayed it then? You have a God as the creator and you have the natural world he made that was always the deal. There isn't say a god of thunder or a god of the ocean who controls that bit of the natural world there is one complete natural order.
Quote: The only place you are able to insert god is in those constantly-shrinking gaps that science has yet to fill. But that isn't science, that's wishful thinking.
God isn't something you insert God is the context in which everything exists.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
