Science is killing the god fantasy and pro-science Christians know it. The creationists have solved this problem. They just deny all science they don't like. Pro-science Christians can't do that because they have a brain. They could throw out their god fantasy but they don't want to do that because they need the magical heaven fantasy.
Their solutions include this nutty idea: "I believe that God designed the universe for natural selection, knowing beforehand that it would result in beautiful things."
My question for pro-science Christians: Have you thought this idea out completely? If you think your god used its magical powers to invent natural processes like gravity and natural selection, do you really think those natural processes would not work without a magical being inventing the rules? Natural processes work because they are natural. Nothing supernatural is required.
It's too bad I don't allow comments anymore. I would be a bit interested in their answers.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
