I take a scientific approach to religion
Not if you take the existence of deities as a given, you don't. Here's a quote of your from later in this post: "God may not gamble, but it is possible that God's guiding hand is out of our possible perception. I see God in somewhat pantheistic terms, by the way."
Quote:
They [scientists] establish supposedly immutable "laws" and place an artificial burden of proof on those who disagree with such laws.
Those who posit immutable laws are theists and not scientists. The scientist will dig in and furiously defend his turf... and then fold when faced with resounding evidence to the contrary. Those who can not adapt become curiosities and relics; cautionary examples to other scientists. Eisenstein and his static state theory, which he admitted to be theologically based, is one recent example.
