Has science found God?

[1213]

As Bible suggests, this world is like a computer simulation. And now some have found evidence this could be true, world may be like a computer simulation. What say you, have science found God, the programmer of the universe?

"Simulation theory is a theoretical hypothesis that says what people perceive as reality is actually an advanced, hyper-realistic computer simulation, possibly overseen by a higher being".

"Do you ever experience something and think to yourself, “This can’t be real.” To some people who have bought into the notion that our reality is currently being simulated, there are examples all around us, that demonstrate glitches in the Matrix. Deja Vu? Ghosts? The Mandela Effect? These could all be direct examples of flaws in the simulation."

"MIT Theoretical physicist James Gates has made a discovery that allegedly caused Neil deGrasse Tyson to sit down in shock. Now for the uninitiated, superstring theory is a concept that could unify all aspects of physics if proven right. While working on his superstring theory, he made an odd discovery. Gates claims to have identified what appears to be actual computer code embedded in the equations of string theory that describe the fundamental particles of our universe. In short, he found “error-correcting codes,” the same error-correcting codes that you might find on the web browser you are using right now."

Science can't find God.

But scientists can.

Do you expect these bald assertions to be accepted

By definition, science is limited to the physical universe.

And since many scientists are theists, it's very clear that they can find God.

You've provided nothing to support your previous bald assertion than to supply another. What evidence can you provide that it is indeed "God" that they have "found?"

Now, I suppose an atheist would say we are just kidding ourselves. So there is that.

What "an atheist" would or wouldn't say is irrelevant to your unsupported claims. Care to provide evidence to support what you have claimed?

None whatever. Faith is not something that science can deal with.

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Not everyone accepts that, of course. And we're all free to decide.

IF.
Science can't find God, But scientists can.

THEN
Scientists who can should be able to develop a science that can.

My point is that scientists are not limited as science is limited. Science is pretty much my life. But I am often unscientific myself.

The Bible? That's what you are presenting as evidence that some scientists "can find God?" That opens a whole other can of worms. Of course, here you've only claimed the one verse. Now you simply have to provide evidence sufficient to establish that verse is true oh and that it actually supports your claim that some scientists "can find God." That's quite a task especially considering that verse makes a universal claim rather than the limited one you are making.

The Bible acknowledges that it is not the only source of truth about God.

Yep. Bottom line? One accepts God on faith or not at all. C.S. Lewis might have objected to that. He apparently reasoned his way to belief.

Science cannot confirm that the gods are human inventions.

But scientists can.

It is hard to ascertain from your reply what your point is.

Accepts God on faith? That doesn't even match your claim under consideration, or the verse you provided and certainly isn't evidence to support your claim. I have no idea what Lewis (who was not a scientist) "apparently" did has to do with any of this.

Only way to do it. Science, by definition, can't. Even Richard Dawkins admit that God might exist, although he thinks that if God does exist, he's not a very nice guy.

I have no idea what Lewis (who was not a scientist) "apparently" did has to do with any of this.

Lewis wrote that he became a Christian based on evidence and reasoning. The one thing that did resonate with me was that His disciples were willing to undergo torture and horrible deaths rather than deny that after His death, he returned to them and conversed and ate with them. If they were lying, they took it to an incredible extreme.

As Stephen Gould put it, science and religion are non-overlapping magisteria.
