What if there Really Is a God?

May 27, 2007 by Dr. Mc.

Now I know this is a difficult concept for some people to truly consider, but suppose for a moment, just for a moment, that maybe there really is a god. Would that affect science? Not saying if it is a Christian god or a Hindu god, just a god. If there is a god, and  we define science in such a way that even the possibility of a god cannot be considered, then we have defined science in a way that certain tangible evidence may never be brought to light, and certain truths can never be discovered and explored. We have in fact defined who we want god to be. If we must ignore all empirical evidence that even suggests that there might be a god..   then we have not only limited science, but also corrupted it. Scientists who sensor their search of the evidence because of where it might lead, whether it suggests that there might or might not be a god, are not pure scientists. They are acting as priests. If we protect evolution from all evidence to the contrary—all empirical evidence to the contrary—we are doing nothing more and nothing less than protecting one specific religious view at the expense of all others. If this is done in public schools, then we are truly in violation of the First Amendment.
