Knowingly or unknowingly, you appear to be trying to merge philosophical naturalism with theism. You are ending up in the realm of deism and oddly at the same time with a God that should probably be spelled with lowercase g. That is not the Biblical God most Christian’s and Jews believe in. That is just another component of the created order and completely at odds with what Genesis 1 and countless other scripture intends to teach. This is just made up Christianity.
And that is the problem. You think natural explanations preclude God. Instead you should view them as how God, who sustains the universe every instant of its being, creates and does things.
Col 1:17 is talking about Jesus but says:
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For (x)by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.17 He (y)is before all things, and in Him all things (z)hold together.
Also, I never read Psalm 139 and thought that the author wasn’t aware he had a mother or father who impregnated her:
Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and night wraps itself around me,”[a]
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is as bright as the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For it was you who formed my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
that I know very well.
Likewise, when I thank God for creating me I am not denying the existence of my mother and father. Knowing how God creates is not a replacement for God. Don’t confuse atheism with Christianity.
There is also the question of souls to discuss but based on your comments I’m guessing you reject them as antiquated ideology.
There are so many things about God and the ultimate nature of reality we don’t a could never possibly know. If the future open? Does the whole of human history exist at the same time to God, known as he has extra-dimensions of time? Is this suggestion just a made up flight of fancy? At the end of the day we see everything as in a mirror dimly lit and could never even begin to disprove the idea that we are just AI living in a simulation.
The bottom line is most Christians believe the Bible contains Revelation from God ( and many that it’s straight up the word of God). It is one mode of knowledge and if it is truly from God, what it intends to teach does not play second fiddle to anything, science included. God is my highest authority. Balancing Scripture with what we learn about the world through science is the whole point of this forum. It seems many forget the first half of that. Including scripture in the discussion and taking what it narrates seriously.
