Evolution or abiogenesis...any of it...your reasons for believing in a designer are scientific, according to you. Correct?
So, are your reasons for being a Christian also scientific? Do you accept the supernatural claims found in the bible?
Yes, my reasons for believing in a designer I feel are scientific.
My reasons for being a Christian are not scientific in the empirical sense of the word, but it is still mostly based on evidence. For example, I saw a lecture given by a man named Rick Larson who (using digital software) looked at cosmological features occurring during the time of Jesus's birth/ crucifixion and noticed incredibly rare astronomical events that coincided with things described in the Bible. I know it sounds very sketchy, and I was skeptical at first too, but it was one of the most interesting videos I have seen in a while. I can post the link if you want. Atheist or not, it is worth an hour of your time.
And I am skeptical of some of the supernatural claims in the Bible. If you are asking me if I think God has ever intervened, then I would say yes.
I think you missed the question. There is nothing scientific at all about that. "I feel" is not an acceptable opener to "are scientific".
Not. Science.
