ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

This seems like a wonderfully sane way to reconcile science and religion
without excluding either as absolutely essential to the natural world as it is
observable. If God is present in all things, then all we observe, research,
describe or induce is, by definition, of God.
(of course we then get into the Augustinian conversation about whether God
is omnibenevolent, which gets just the merest bit complicated...and then sorta
winds itself around the question of free will...but I think that's beyond
this discussion!)

A more modern approach suggests that a supreme being can not be proven
scientifically because the scientist can not isolate any instance where
God is not present. That is by definition a supreme being includes
omniscience and omnipresence. How could we ever isolate a miracle and
then reproduce it? If we could- would we need God or be God?
