Atheist, refer to my post above again.
Facts :- The universe exists. Life exists. Different species exist.
There must be a reason for these things, but we disagree on the cause. (s)
Naomi is quite correct, scientific research is in a state of constant revision.
So, my explanation? (Yet again!)
God is the Creator and the Author of life, and sustains His creation and life.
Mankind has many religions all claiming unique insight into God.
You atheists are correct to be sceptical about all of the claimsof the various religions, so how to separate the wheat from the chaff?
I too was once sceptical, and had my own theories, all based on feelings, of explaining everything, but I could not be certain about anything, and was even attracted to some form of Eastern religion, probably due to the 1960's Beatles influences, Maharishi, give peace a chance etc, all happening at the same time as the Vietnam War, amply showing up the insanity of mankind.
I had been a CoE member from childhood to early teens when I abandoned it, bit it had always failed to properly explain Christianity.
I eventually met a Christian who explained the Bible to me, and it made sense, most convincingly due to the prophecies.
Immediately I realised all religions were false, and only Bible based Christianity was true.
The prophecies are so easily tested.
Scientists cannot investigate God, as their research methods are based purely on naturalism.
