Dear George,
An intersting post and OLO link. Thanks. Reflecting on what I believe you are saying: On one path of thought we have the need to recognise the divisibility of the epistemology of theism(s)and the epistemology of science(s). We are in trouble when the either tries to"cross-over". On another path of thought, we have the call to recognise the feasibility of the duality of panentheism and the physicsal universe, wherein the former is greater. The latter a decoherent subset: i.e., at one with a "part of God" and observed as a measureable physicality. A duality from science us coalesced. Theism has its realm and science its domain. Both having their resspective competencies. Yet, the twain do meet when we consider the an immanent God infused in nature. In considering the aforemtioned frame, I feel, we agin return to our old friend, 'First Cause," as to whether or not the universe was purposefully created or is self-sustaining. Is there a Captain at the wheel or is existence the product of a non-divine driver entangled in nature, there, without the immanence of a god? As competing theories, I do feel the "supernatural" competes better with the alternative realities of modern science than does the science of the 1700-1800s: Old religion and new science delimit physicality and the observable universe as a subset of a greater explanation. Modern science takes the view of zero titration (non-boundary universe - Hawking) to prime and maintain existence, whereas, theism begs for an intelligent guiding catalyst, leading to another quation is divinity or self-organisation infused into our reality (and peripherals)? The challenge for science is to explain the universe without recourse to an immanent divinity: A stand on its own solution. With current technologies we do have the capability to re-create the creatiion. If memory serves would requires a particle accelerator operating 1,000 trillion electron volts, whereas CERN is maxed out at 17 (7?) trillion electron volts. Yet, showing the existence of god I feelis more challenging Posted by Oliver, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 11:04:53 AM

Science may soon be able to make new prodictions based on the Higgs particle to regress theories towards the creation, it can't yet test. Alternatively, regressing physical phenomena back to a god, is hard, elusive and probably impossible. What science can do than religion can't is to point to foot prints: e.g., background radiation from the BB. There is clear evidence. Regards. Posted by Oliver, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 11:12:21 AM

Correction: "The challenge for science is to explain the universe without recourse to an immanent divinity: A stand on its own solution. With current technologies we do **NOT** have the capability to re-create the creatiion. If memory serves repliocation would requires a particle accelerator operating 1,000 trillion electron volts, whereas CERN is maxed out at 17 (7?) trillion electron volts. Yet, showing the existence of god I feel is more challenging"

Dear Oliver,
Thanks for stimulating thoughts. I can see your point where you are suspicious of a strict splitting of epistemology into two compartments. Although I am not sure what you mean by epistemology of science and epistemology of theism, I tend to agree with you. I am no fan of Stephen Jay Gould’s NOMA (Non-overlapping magisteria) approach to the relation between science and religion which apparently corresponds to the second type in Ian Barbour’s classical typology: conflict, independence, dialogue, integration. My point of view is more along the borderline between the third and fourth type, albeit an assymetric dialogue: modern science can and does serve as a corrective of what religion/theology can know about reality, whereas not so much vice-versa. Perhaps something like modern physics needs mathematics, but not vice versa: there is pure mathematics but no pure physics, like there are atheist scientits but there are (or should be) no “science-ignoring” theologians. >>Yet, the twain do meet when we consider the immanent God infused in nature.<< Yes, this is the problem of Divine Action that books have been written about (of course, a non-problem for anti-theists). For instance, it was the major theme of a recent wide ranging series of conferences and publications on theology and science jointly sponsored by the Vatican Observatory and the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences in Berkeley (CA). >>Is there a Captain at the wheel or is existence the product of a non-divine driver entangled in nature, there, without the immanence of a god? << This is an interesting formulation of the crucial question of philosophy, why is there something rather than nothing. I expressed it thus (http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=9389&page=0#150883): either the physical world - i.e. reality accessible by senses, science and formal mathematics - is “all there is” (Carl Sagan), i.e. its own cause and purpose, or there must be Something (God, in the theist model of this Something) irreducible to the physical world, a Something that is its own cause and purpose.
