In what real sense then is meteorology more compatible with Christianity than evolutionary biology? |
The big difference is that if you will go to a meteorology textbook, or a physics textbook, or a chemistry science journal article, you will see that they are SILENT on the issue of teleology.
You will NOT see them denying teleology, instead they just stay silent and stick to whatever they can back up with science. You won't see public claims of:
"Meteorology does not admit conscious anticipation of the future (ie consious forethought)..."
"Physics is a completely mindless process..."
"(Chemistry and the Brain) -- With all deference to religious people, the notion that humans were created in the image of God can be set aside."
"Astronomy rejects all supernatural phenomena and causations."
No. No sir. These kinds of public pronouncements are found only within--and are inherently part of-- EVOLUTION. Evolution is incompatible with Christianity.

Actually, ALL parts of science rely on methological naturalism, not just evolution. It's just that religious fanatics like you keep asserting, without any real evidence, that life could not have arisen without supernatural intervention. In science, the proper answer to that question is, "We do not know yet." You no longer assert that God controls the weather for two reasons:
1. It makes you look totally rediculous to do so, since the causes of changing weather patterns ARE well known and have been for decades.
2. When storms, droughts, heat waves and floods occur, it makes God look evil to say He is responsible for them.

If you need a man-made book to beleive in a God who is said to have created the universe, of what value is your faith? You might as well worship an idol.
