Yet, you believe the universe is eternal. Who has shown the evidence that such is the case?
multiverse, string theory, vacuum fluctuations, big bang/big crunch. energy can neither be created or destroyed
e=mc2, energy is matter, self organization. should i go on?
Science can't figure out anything. Science is simply the observation of natural phenomena. And the only way we can observe anything is with our sense (sometimes aided with equipment that amplifies those senses).
To uncover something simply means to find something THAT WAS ALREADY THERE.
.
this is a horrible fallacy and assumption. the universe could be eternal hence always there, thus never put there by anything. your assuming design implies a designer, which has been disproven by self-organization. no matter what they uncover you keep moving the question back further. "there was the big bang" ,"but what caused the big bang, surely that was god" ten years later they discover parellel universes and you have to move god back another step until he is a quantum flucctuation in a vacuum, whats the good of beleiving in that god? your argument rests on the fact that G-d must be the beginning and everything needs a cause which has to be god.
also, why do you beleive that somethign that WAS ALWAYS THERE is god, and simply not energy, or the universe, or laws of nature?
imply that something or someone put those things there (or set those physical laws and mechanics in place).
You state that you believe in God. But, it's plausible to believe that natural explanation will "prevail". Prevail over what? At some point, the natural ends and the supernatural begins.
ive never seen any evidence of "supernatural" and anything that can be observed would be "natural", if it is supernatural then we cannot access it. thus your argument is moot because its mere speculation, better yet utterly complete speculation.
i am only arguing against you because your argument doesnt hold any water and would be reemed by any logical person.
if you were to bet on wether something natural created the natural universe or god, i would go with the odds and look at observable science throughout the ages. the earth was flat, the earth was the center of the universe, blah blah blah... now its what started the big bang if in fact there was one.
