RR, here is where your statement of faith in seed form. From that simple statement, all the rest of your trust in science flows.

CRR, please look at the scientific method and see if it's a progressive or recessive activity?

Why would anyone think that we will discover less or regress on what we are currently able to explain?

Of course, the scientific method is progressive. The faith stems not from the assertion that we can discover more; it stems from the assertion that, through the scientific method, we can discover all.

I believe we will continue to discover more, but you don't say we will discover more, you say science will one day find a way to measure everything. That is a statement of faith, and you believe it with all that is in you, but nothing in peer reviews, or scientific exploration makes that a provable statement. Maybe there is something that science will never fully explain. Maybe not. I would claim to be an agnostic in that depth of scientific faith.

Science, and the scientific method, is a great tool for understanding and learning about what is around us. The human race is better for its use and the more we can learn and expand it's knowledge base, the better we all will be. But it does not reveal all, nor does it in and answer every question that describes the human condition, and I believe it's not likely to, in this lifetime, or 100 lifetimes from now. If there is an asymptote of understanding, in my belief, God is the vertical truth, and science is the 1/x progressing closer and closer, but never touching or exceeding the axis.

So God is a murderer?

Seems legit.

It's a good thing that we have the original Hebrew for the Old Testament and the Greek for the New Testament; otherwise you guys would have a bank to stand on. Check out Papyrus 52 or P52 and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
