"How Do You Want to Play this Game", when it comes to Ignorance?

Does it mean, if you don’t understand something, and the community of physicists don’t understand it, that means God did it? Is that how you want to play this game? Because if it is, here’s a list of things in the past that the physicists at the time didn’t understand [and now we do understand] [...]. If that’s how you want to invoke your evidence for God, then God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance that’s getting smaller and smaller and smaller as time moves on - so just be ready for that to happen, if that’s how you want to come at the problem.

Praise God, if something bad happens, its God's will and we should just accept it.

I grew up in AOG churches and was 21 before I saw the hypocrisy of it all. It was at that point that I came to my senses.

when religion is brought up, I've learned to just smile and not because arguing is a waste of breath.
