I suspect that you see where Science runs into a wall inevitably, and MUST apply FAITH (evidence and substance) at some point through the best of scientific thnking.you can't be serious. So becuase Science doesn't have all the answers, you HAVE to apply faith? I don't know precisely what you were doing on october 5th of this year, but if you claimed you were out saving a class of orphans from a burning bus, I'd have to believe you?
You cannot tell me you don't see the glaring flaw in that logic.
and who's to say it's not more intelligent to follow the leap of faith that intelligent, scientific minds have proposed to us, and that is the big bang? Why does it have to be GOD that got us here, or more specifically your god? Science knows the 'big bang' is a theory, that's why they call it the big bang theory, but that doesn't mean they don't have REASON to belive in it. The most intelligent minds of the last century didn't just go "Well we need a starting point, so...we exploded from nothing!" A lot of creationists like to simplify the Big Bang Theory as such as an attempt to disparge science, but it's the strawman fallacy. the difference between that macro and the one disparging religion is that the one disparging religion is far more acccurate. there's no science behind god, no evidence pointing towards a divine creator; God IS the placeholder the religious put there that the scientific community isn't foolish enough to resort to.
Not knowing doesn't make you a lesser man. Sometimes it's okay to accept that "I don't know for sure" where the universe came from, and it's much more intelligent and humble than making something up to fill in the blank and killing people for not believing you, or otherwise judging them as fools.
