“God created the world; the laws of nature were created by God. True science tries to find out what God put in the world. The trouble is where scientists speculate about theology and they don’t know what they’re talking about because they weren’t there. They can’t speculate about the origins of life because they weren’t there. If they tell you observable phenomenon then we ought to believe them, and I tell you if you find a geologist who tells you something existed 300 million years ago then you better believe them because he knows what he’s talking about. So we don’t want wanna have our religious theory go with flat earth.”via Right Wing Watch
Hmm. Where to begin? This is so stupid I don’t know why I bother. I guess because we keep hearing piss-poor comments and “arguments” like this.
b) Conversely, scientists can and do speculate about the origins of life because we have a valid framework within biology to make educated speculations, hypothesis, models, theories, etc. All theists have is an outdated book which is incongruent on every claim about the nature of the universe,
c) One can’t make any claim to knowledge if “they weren’t there?” Tell me Pat and every other Christian in the world that holds this belief: Did you see an empty tomb?

"True science tries to find out what God put in the world.”“True science” cares not for your god or religion. It operates and works just fine without it. In fact—to date—not a single shred of evidence of a supernatural component to the universe has been provided for evaluation or discovered.
"The trouble is where scientists speculate about theology and they don’t know what they’re talking about because they weren’t there. They can’t speculate about the origins of life because they weren’t there.”a) Scientists do not speculate about theology. Theology is the logical study and philosophy of a completely unsupported premise. Scientists can test the claims of theology and they have. Again, not a single assertion based on faith has ever been confirmed,

“…We don’t want wanna have our religious theory go with flat earth.”Too late.
