hmmmm......can't remember
Science isn't necessarily about the why or who but the how.
And with a lot of quantum physics and creational science pointing these days to dark matter, string theory and a now believed 11 dimensions (as I understand it: 3 spatial, 1 time, 1 string, 5 superstring, and the newly "discovered" M-theory dimension making strings mathematically possible), I believe science is getting closer to the man behind the curtain, but it's the curtain that science will never be able to see behind. It's just an impossibility and a lock for which there exists no key.
I for one believe Big Bang or what have you, merely came to exist thru what we would know as a space-time rift or some indiscoverable dimensional plane. To God it's merely "his" fingertip. I'm completely fascinated by the details our collective minds discover and try to piece together. Not that I pretend to understand it in any great detail, but I enjoy the Cliff's Notes science documentaries provide. I love the details but don't get so bogged down by them that I forget the big picture, which to me is; someday science will explain most all the HOW, but without God's permission we will always always be one answer short.
Who wants all the answers anyway?? That takes the funn out of it!
This thread is like a trainwreck--I can't take my eyes off it. Yet I love reading things like this post, TNJed.
One of the things I was thinking about today (and I have to be brief--I'm off to meet with a client) was exactly along these lines. I don't think mankind will ever be able to answer SJ's question about who made God, but the reason I can't go along with Uncle Timmy's humanistic reasoning is because I, as a human being, want to know not only how, where, and when, but who and why. Theists are accused of creating gods to soothe themselves; the very fact that humans need to be soothed is miraculous in itself. That--and not the intestinal construction--is the image of God. We are rational, emotional beings. Pretty amazing.
One more thing, and I have to run:
Three engineering students are discussing what sort of god must have designed the human body. The first says, "God must be a mechanical engineer. Look at all the joints."
The second says, "I think God must be an electrical engineer. The nervous system has thousands of electrical connections."
The third said, "Actually, God is a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
