KenTX's argument comes from ignorance. It's commonly called the "God of the gaps" argument. Find a gap in knowledge and say "ha! see, science can't answer everything" and default to God as the explanation without offering any evidence to back the conclusion.

Knowledge and belief are two separate things and shouldn't be confused or conflated, that's the point of the diary. Pardon my semantics.

kind of deja vu with the Big Russ comment.

Not that you didn't stir up some wishful thinking though. 

There is a distinction between the classic "Santa Claus in a bathrobe god" that Christians worship and a vast, complex "infinite" force that somehow controls the Universe. Thank you for making that clear

No one here would disagree that the forces underlying the universe are vast and complex, and of course there are mysteries and questions that will never be answered, mainly because of perceptual limitations rather than an inability to understand complicated concepts, although it's important to understand that no matter how much understanding we achieve there will always be more questions.

The point of argument is whether there is intention or purpose driving that "infinite" force you speak of. I say there isn't. You say there is. Pass the beer nuts.

The most interesting thing I've ever heard about science and religion came from a catholic priest during an interview on Fresh Air with Terry Gross. I don't remember his name but he was head of the Vatican's astronomy department. Paraphrasing: "Every time we learn something new about the Universe we have to adjust our definition of God."  To me, that sums it all up.
