Scientists have made great progress using the scientific method both in understanding and technology. But scientists have not answered all questions and there are questions they will never answer. And it is better to know that you do not have an answer than to pretend that you do.And it is your contention that Christians are pretending to have answers that they do not really have. Is it possible that they have a few to those questions that science will never answer?
Pretending may be too strong a word. But yes, Christians claim to have answers, such as god exists, that they have no real evidence for. They claim knowledge that they have not. That they really believe such claims, does not make them correct.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
