Why do some religious people pick on unsolved scientific problems?

No, they also say "God did it" regardless if science gives an explanation because they believe God is the "mechanic" behind the whole mechanism of the physical world. That's why people will even say that the existence of a creator god and evolutionary thought isn't necessarily contradictory, however to go that route would mean a different god than the bible.

Scientists can say all they want about HOW the universe works, but the theists will still insist to tell you WHY the universe even exists in the first place.. "God did it!".

Your mathematical analogy is wrong, saying "God did it" doesn't solve anything, it only tells you who came up with the calculation. If 2 + 2 = 5, it would still be 5, regardless if God did it or not. Saying "God did it" is more like saying: GOD = 5. Actually a better analogy would be that it's like reading a mathematical word problem about someone paying a certain amount of money and then saying "don't worry about it, he payed the money, that's what's important". LOL

You're assuming the bible is supposed to be some self-help book when it's not. It's more like a love letter intended to form a relationship between you and God.

I sometimes compare impaired faith to "spiritual autism", you figured out how the physical world works and you follow rules to the letter, but without understanding how spiritual influences on the mind work. If the mental states of others seem imaginary, then spiritual influences seem even much more so. Although even the "spiritually autistic" pantheists understand volitional states and "cause and effect". The purpose of the bible is to show us the "theory of mind" of God. Spirituality concerns itself with belief-based thoughts and faith in God is the ultimate understanding of how our beliefs predetermine our own actions and our destiny.

What you believe about God, your picture or "image of God", will ultimately be reflected in how we live our lives. The problem of course is everyone wants to make their own image of god and thus everyone seems to follow different rules.

Coherent explanation? You mean like man came from apes with out any help? Is that not the same as a frog into a prince? They say those things because in reality it takes a person to make things happen. Why are people trying to believe nothing; can and did everything? Is that not what magic truly is? Something out of nothing? Why do you find it so hard to believe that you need a baker to make a cake? Why and how is it logical to believe cake appears without a baker? In order for life to exist you need parents. Why is it that people believe that because a scientist creates life in a lab disproves a creator? Did it not take a scientist to create the life? Does that not make him a creator?

The theory of zero is a big joke. An event occurs with out a cause is belief in magic. That is not science. Everything has a cause. We just can not always explain why. Stephen Hawking's gave an example of this theory by equating it to a hole being dug. The hole being dug creates a mountain equivalent to the amount of dirt removed to create the hole. This he said is proof you can have an effect with out a cause. Tell me who dug the hole? If anything this theory proves one had to do it. You can't have a hole create a mountain with out looking for a cause.

Real science is seeking cause after an effect or causing an effect that is desired to either duplicate or create something new. Magic is something from nothing. That is an effect with out a cause. How is evolution an answer to anything scientific if it's only answer is something came from nothing? How is that a scientific answer?

Never said 2+2 = 5 or cabbage. You are an ignorant fool. I think outside the box and would realize that 2.5 + 2.5=5 I would correct the question. The answer does not always have to be the answer, sometimes the question needs to be changed to be the right question. If there is no answer then you need to ask the right question. You have failed. Evolution has nothing to do with physics. Ask any physicist. A computer evolved not on it's own you know. It took knowledge built upon previously learned knowledge. The Abacus was the first computer. Before the abacus what was there but knowledge obtained.

Evolution would have you believe an abacus appeared out of nothing.

Time, a thirst for understanding and clinical study are the solutions for unsolved clinical complications. Bible/religions are extra of a undertaking even if in putting forward that, many spectacular clinical discoveries were made contained in the hunt for the principles of religions and their books.

God of the gaps.

If I had a dollar for every evolution and big bang question that has been asked....

Well I wouldn't be on R&S.

Because people don't like uncertainty. God is simple, easy. That doesn't make him real, but I do see the appeal that religion can have.

It is an asinine attempt by religious people like Matthew and god is my salvation to revert society back to Bronze Age mentality....

Because a belief in God thrives on ignorance. The only place he still seems to be able to hide are in the holes in our knowledge.

Luckily, we have a shovel called science that we can use to fill the holes with facts, and eventually God is going to get buried alive.

God of the gaps fallacy

Matthew yet again provides an excellent example of their cognitive prowess "nothingdidit" ... I mean you can't help but point and laugh at these people.

'2+2=cabbage' LMAO! It all boils down to a fear of facing their mortality, IMO.

Because they like to believe that just because science doesn't have the absolute answer yet, it somehow makes their fantasy answer correct by default.
