| Introduction | As an ex-Christian, I still find it amazing that the vast majority of noise aired is promoting a false dichotomy of Science vs Religion. This is simply not the case and is a minority viewpoint. Young earth creationism is a scam with particular organisations making millions by preying on the ignorance of the scientific illiterate. Intelligent Design is nothing but an appeal to ignorance (We don't understand how .... so it must have been a designer). People who say that science has disproved the existence of God are not making this claim from a scientific standing. Science can however refute specific fact claims such as the universe is approximately 6,000 years old or there are no transitional fossils. Science can never prove or disprove the existence of God. Proof is the realm of mathematics. Science is bound by methodological naturalism which cannot comment on the existence or non-existence of the supernatural. Methodological naturalism, which is a process, is not philosophical naturalism, a belief. |
