Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tiger" data-source="post: 133872" data-attributes="member: 353">That’s a fashionable claim — that belief in God was simply a placeholder for ignorance, now supposedly replaced by the glowing certainties of modern science. But it’s a historical distortion. Science was not birthed in opposition to theism, but in the cradle of Christian civilization. Newton, Kepler, Pascal, Faraday, Mendel — these were devout men whose faith inspired their inquiry. They believed that a rational God had written an intelligible universe, which is why they searched for order rather than chaos.Yes, today we know more about cells and stars than in the 13th century — but the increase of data hasn’t removed the deeper questions; it’s only exposed them more plainly. You're quick to speak up if you think someone hasn't answered your questions and yet you and your ilk never even attempt to answer the difficult questions I raise. You simply ignore and deflect. So here are a few:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What is the origin of consciousness? Not brain chemistry — consciousness itself. Why is there a first-person experience at all?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why does the universe obey mathematical laws? Why not chaos? Why mathematics, and why is it so uncannily effective?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How did non-living matter cross the boundary into life? Abiogenesis remains a black box.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What is information, and how do blind physical processes create it, preserve it, or assign meaning to it?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Why is there something rather than nothing?</li> </ul>None of these are answered by evolution theory, quantum mechanics, or cosmology. In fact, the deeper science probes, the more profound these mysteries become.You claim modern non-religious people come “armed” with new knowledge — but knowledge of what, and for what? The periodic table doesn't explain personhood. The laws of physics can describe how a stone falls but say nothing of why you love your child, or why you recoil at injustice. Science describes mechanism, not meaning.So yes — it’s one thing to wield new information. It’s another to pretend it answers the oldest questions.</blockquote>
