Kevin, from what you have stated above, it sounds to me like you are making
science the arbiter of your religious belief. If so, you have chosen a
dangerous and predetermined pathway that will lead you ultimately to reject
the God who made you. I hope I am misunderstanding your position. I know
of no religious belief that can come out of a materialistic philosophy
other than materialism. I no of no religious belief that can come out of
naturalistic science other than naturalism. I only hope I am misreading
you here. I find science an exciting and challenging enterprise, and the
fun never ceases. But I neither expect nor desire to learn about ultimate
truths from science. Science, by definition, doesn't go there.
