SCIENCE ARGUES AGAINST A CREATOR

It has been revealed by one physicist that nothing in modern science requires supernatural explanation. He offers naturalistic explanations for empirical observations that are frequently given theistic interpretations. In fact, modern science argues against the existence of an active, personal creator. He has not been found and there is no reason to assume he exists. Those who claim evidence for intelligent design in the universe have made a number of scientific errors. God is not needed to explain the origin of the universe nor it's laws and structure. Modern physics and cosmology point to an uncreated , self-contained, fully material universe that is consistent with all known observations. Arguments that the universe is divinely "fine tuned" for life are based on a narrow and parochial view of what forms life might take. Attempts to reconcile Christianity with science have produced theologies that are in sharp conflict with the traditional teaching that evolution is guided and humans occupy a special place in the cosmos. The universe is not populated by mysterious, incomprehensible forces that control our lives and destinies for some unseen purpose. Rather, aided by science, we control our own lives and determine our own purpose.
