God and Science (Specifically Evolution and Big Bang) are Mutually Exclusive

I'll begin by addressing your two issues (Creation and Evolution) and then the slightly larger scope of Faith vs. Science... As I'm sure you well know, it is impossible to rule out God if you hold that he/she/it can break the laws of nature at will and without leaving evidence of his action. However, this doesn't have much bearing on the content of this argument, because I could also attribute the same actions to a Scrinny or a Glorpthang and there would be no way to prove me wrong. Alternatively, one could hold that God is a natural being with these powers, and there IS some way to see his work, but we don't have the science... You provide evidence that Christianity has reconciled Faith and Evolution. However, the evidence you provide is simply that of the Church adding god's name to science's conclusion. This is completely uncompelling. If a new scientific theory is posited a decade from now, the Church will once again simply say: "Oh... we were wrong before - THAT's how god works!" How many times must this happen? "When Physicists cannot explain what caused the Big Bang, they turn to God." This quote of yours is blatantly false. When physicists cannot explain what caused the Big Bang, they go back to their instruments and keep looking. This addresses the simple attachment of the term "god" to scientific theory in an attempt to reserve credit to a deity. Below, I shall argue why attributing scientific phenomenon like Evolution and the Big Bang to God is inappropriate. First, we need a working definition of god - we shall call him an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent being. We'll call this OP/OS/OB for ssake of simplification... This being would clearly bring about the best of all possible worlds. Otherwise, he would be creating a defective world. And if he created one on purpose, he wouldn't be omnibenevolent. If he didn't know about the defect or was unable to fix it, he wouldn't be omniscient or omnipotent. The process of evolution brings about organisms better suited to their environment than the organisms before them. Surely, one can see how this is good, both for the organism and the environment. If god is OP/OS/OB then he would know how to create organisms best suited for their environment, as well as a stable environment. To suggest that he used evolution is to suggest that he was incapable of creating a perfect, balanced system with the "finished" forms of organisms, didn't know what this system would look like, or didn't want to create it, even though it represents a much greater good than a savage system ruled by survival of the fittest. The Big Bang is basically as far back as science can go. If God preceded the Big Bang as an unnatural being, that causes one to ask, "Then where did god come from?" The classical answer is that God always was. Whoop-de-doo. Matter always was, then. There's no way to refute either claim. However, we can see evidence that the Big Band Theory is correct. Adding God to this theory is akin to my saying the glass on the desk in front of me is full of creme soda, but it's not a natural creme soda we can interact with. I'm still going to say the glass is empty. If one considers God to be a naturally occurring being, then this being must be bound by the laws of the natural world. Thus, either God is an unnatural being, or places where science and religion are in conflict provide evidence of one view being verifiably wrong. People don't rise from the dead. Religion states that this happened at least 4 times in Jesus' life - Lazarus, the legionnaire's boy, the girl in the funeral, and Jesus himself. This is clearly a violation of natural law. Matter does not multiply. Religion states that this happened at least once in Jesus's life at the Sermon on the Mount. This is also clearly a violation of natural law. So we have two possibilities - either the stories are not true, or God is an unnatural being, in which case I present the following argument against God's existence: 1. A Scrinny is an OP/OS entity. 2. A Scrinny is not detectable by science. 3. The Universe and everything in it are the work of the almighty Scrinny. 4. The Scrinny and God cannot co-exist because the Scrinny can tolerate no other gods besides himself. 5. The Scrinny is responsible for all works we attribute to science and can break the laws of nature at will and undetected. 6. Therefore, the Scrinny, which is not omnibenevolent and under no obligation to produce a just universe, is the true deity, and God does not exist.
