No doubt it is true that science cannot study God, but it hardly follows that God had to keep a safe distance from everything that scientists want to study.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My view is that science only has something to say about a very particular notion of God, which goes by the name of 'god of the gaps'.
The problem with allowing God a role in the history of life is not that science would cease, but rather that scientists would have to acknowledge the existence of something important which is outside the boundaries of natural science.
Science is only truly consistent with an atheistic worldview with regards to the claimed miracles of the gods of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Science has nothing in common with religion. Facts and miracles never did and never will agree.
My feeling, of course, is that it's ludicrous to try to prove God's existence by science. God has nothing to do with science. God has all to do with soul, and who can explain that?
Except for a God who sits down after the universe begins, all other gods conflict with the assumptions of science.
People think of science as rolling back the mystery of God. I look at science as slowly creeping toward the mystery of God.
Unfortunately, science cannot be reduced to short, catchy phrases. And if this is all that the general public can comprehend, it's no wonder that we spend so much of our time in the interminable debate about belief in God, or lack thereof.
If we take science as our sole guide, if we accept and hold fast that alone which is verifiable, the old theology must go.
A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.
