God as prime mover for creation is a "theory" that religious people have based on faith- so it's not really a theory, it's their belief, if you are going to be honest- and it's a belief people would like to sell as "scientific theory", only no scientist who isn't religious would consider it, because it really comes down to faith faith and more faith. There are no facts for your theory, in terms of facts which make you say- "look, there's God's thumbprint there, we can infer God's hand in this. " Evolution - correct or incorrect- or any other theory that is scientific, is merely an explanation for facts, and which is driven by facts, and which is supported by the facts(one hopes), and which can be thrown out, and which is not religious. God theory works backwards. You start with God, and then look around at the facts and say "God did it".
God theory could support anything. You could look at ANY facts and say "God did it". That's not scientific. It's fine to teach it in comparative religion, but it's not science. |
