    But in today's Science, "Theology" is nothing at all...

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Of course. Pure scientifical knowledge gives no regard to Theology.

    Science is merely a method, one confined to Natural Philosophy. Currently the Academy issues (edit: no doctoral degrees) for "Science".

    Now, the question is:

    How does your natural theology impact on my Theology?

    You could ask the reverse question, and it is just as valid.

    Natural Philosophy and Theology are not related, except as avenues of human endeavor; Discoveries in one make little or no impact on the other.

    If you were ask me "Why was the world created?" that is a very different question to "How". "How" does not answer why, but "How" is all "science" ever does, asks, tests or measures.

    Therefore, scientific knowledge has no bearing on the existence of God. Further, if this is so it is possible accept all that has been discovered through the scientific method and still be a "Creationist".

    So tell me, why did God create the earth?

    I'm not asking how - in six days or seven, by telepathy or with Polish hired labour. I'm asking why? For what reason?

    If religion can answer the 'why' questions, this is surely the number one question on which to test it.

    The basic number one arguement is,

    "He wanted kids", of which he has untold millions upon billions
    "If it wears trousers generally I don't pay attention."

    I am tempted to paraphrase Einstein on infinity here, but the mods might take issue.

    My next question would have been: why ffs did He have to create woman?
    As always, your mere presence answers the question.

    I know this much. When I have kids, and they misbehave, I'm putting them in an oven for time out, just like God. And, I'm never letting them out of time out, just like God.

    Jezus Pizzaman, who created you? Now there's a guy I worship!

    P.S. I'm still waiting for Sigurd to smite me.
