I've never found that even reasonably acceptable.
But hey, I have standards.

'Cause' is the creator of 'effect but after creating 'effect' it is not necessary that the same cause in same form, continue to exist for ever. Hydrogen and Oxygen combine and create 'water' but same hydrogen particles and same 'oxygen' particles do not remain in this world so that you can trace and point to same particles of oxygen and hydrogen. So, 'cause' may or may not exist to human 'knowledge'. This is the reason why Gquestionablea questionable entity although it is certain that without God, whole Universe would not have come in to existence. We still debate about God. Itthatossible that 'effect' can later on turn in to 'cause'. Like 'Milk' is a creation of Cow so it is 'effect' but when processed to turn in Milkinessr, 'Milkness' is gone and 'butter' is now the 'effect'. Thus Milk has now become 'cause' too. For answering 'cause' and 'effect' theory, we have to take help of material examples. So from various examples, we hnectar grab necter of the writing and move forward. Otherwise arguments can be streched til lend of life.

You could argue that god created the principles which science analyses....on the one hand which would mean god caused all events.
But essentially science is the study of everything around us, and it takes time to figure this stuff out, so considering it's only been going 400 years max then you've just gotta give it a bit of time to explain the stuff it doesn't know the answer to.

God is ignorance.
Science can only explain so much at current, as time moves on - more will be understood.
It's possible some things never will be understood.
But at least Science gives real answers and encourages critical thinking.
God lives in shadows and doubt, where an answer is beyond us currently it is immediately filed under 'god', for the simpletons at least.
Lack of a scientific answer doesn't prove god exists or prove she/he/it is behind anything, it only proves our own ignorance as a species, and proves it more so when we evoke space deities with magic powers and stern rules on self-flagellation to give answers.

God caused all events, even the ones that science does explain. Science explains how God does things.

You don't have to wait for science to be stumped.
If the average Joe cannot understand something, he will, without hesitation automatically assign that thing to...god.
Humans like answers. We don't necessarily want correct answers or factual answers; we just want answers.
The answers we want are those which support and verify the miss assumptions we already have. If we are stone=age men, know very little about anything, we place whatever confuses us in the realm of whatever deity we have created, the sun, moon, the wind, the human-like deity or whatever.
This saves us the job trying to find an actual answer.

For some, yes.
Man is wired to need to know the why of things. And we've forever filled the gaps in our knowledge with supposition.
How does the sun travel across the sky? Well, clearly, it must be drawn by a God on a chariot...
The real danger is falling into the trap. Just because we don't know something is not PROOF of the supernatural. It is a possibility but I don't tend to live my life fervently believing in mere possibilities.
It is possible that I win tonight's lottery but I've yet to call into work and tell them to go screw.

If religion cant explain a certain event, does that mean science must have cuased it?
- PROBLEMLv 71 decade ago
No. I am a Christian and I love God. I also love science. To use the line of thinking you have given is an insult to both science and God. You can come to God a rational, thinking human being. God is not a default factor for unexplained scientific phenomena

God caused this "science"
Logic does not apply to God or Jesus
That is why you can not argue with a Christian
- Dr AbbeyLv 41 decade ago
just because science can't explain it now doesn't mean that it wont in the future.
there is no reason to fill our gaps of knowledge with man-made mythology.
