There are wonders we cannot fathom; in time we have realized wonders, but I don't doubt there are limitless wonders still beyond our imagination.
If you don't believe in God, why do you care how a believer refers to God? What does it matter if someone calls God a him, her or it? It has nothing to do with anything. How is it dismantled? Christians don't pretend to know how God came into being. It is clearly beyond a Christian's understanding. Since science is incapable of explaining the creation of matter, it's obvious you have no clue how it happened either. Obviously there was an Omega and Christians personify this. Science cannot disprove it. Proving that you don't know something does not disprove another's belief.
I guess you've got me there, but I really think that logic can only get humanity so far. Too much logic without imagination is not a good thing, because I think ultimately life is not logical.
Yes, it is obvious. I did not say it is obvious there is a God, I said Alpha. As in, a beginning. Science explains the transference of matter from one form to another, but not the creation of it. Science acknowledges it's limitation in this matter.
Einstein explained what you are saying quite well. In fact, his ground breaking theories were based upon this. I take this to mean that he believes the universe runs on principles beyond our ability to understand. In order to fully understand them some day, I would think it would take a bit of imagination. Imagination allows you to do things that others know you cannot.
Einstein also said this: It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere.... Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. And this: The mystical trend of our time, which shows itself particularly in the rampant growth of the so-called Theosophy and Spiritualism, is for me no more than a symptom of weakness and confusion.
Not sure about your point here. I didn't use Einstein as an example of someone who believed in God, but rather a person that knew that the universe is not completely understood by today's scientists. It was to explain the use of imagination vs logic. Einstein was adept in destroying principles in science and expanding the way we see the universe. It takes imagination to do that.
