Does God only work through Magic?

lol, maybe in some idealic setting, but just look at how your peers are defending the use of science to disprove God, or the distain they have when I attribute a scientific understanding to how God operates..
Again, science has become an excuse as to why God can not exist, despite what 'purist' think science should be.

The search for the 'God partical' (with the hydron super collider) is a good example of 'science being used to disprove God.

Quote:That seems like a question for a theist to contemplate, not a scientist.  Once we place god outside of the natural world, any attributes can be assigned to him. He can be outside of space and time.  He can be powerful enough to create a massive and expansive universe and write its laws while not being subject to them.  He can violate those laws at will with only the specific consequences he desires.  And if we are stumped by what seems to be an illogical conclusion, we simply admit that his ways are a mystery to us.
so?

Quote:What can we do with such a being?  There literally are no rules that we can apply to it, so that we can determine that it should do one thing or another, or that anything we discover is or isn't proof of his existence.  Science can only continue to learn about the things we can actually study.  And if god never shows up during that journey, we must reach a conclusion.  Some of us decide that it means he isn't there.  Some of us decide that he's there, but can't be seen via conventional means because of what I described in the previous paragraph.  Which of those seems more reasonable?
You seem to be oblivious to the fact that one does not have to be in a specialized field of study in order to have full access to God. God has given us access to Him if we simply A/S/K for Him, yet we take His formula and apply it to all sorts of other disciplines and endeavors instead.
