What I am saying is that in some areas where we are looking and saying "There is no reason for this electron to do this, therefore there must be some 'higher power' making it do this, therefore god must exist" can either now or will eventually be able to be explained in terms of fundamental laws of the universe. And electron doesn't go that direction "because it wants to or is ordered to by god", but because of some reproducable, measured, and explained reason. That's all.

I don't know anyone anywhere who has used that type of argument except for steven hawking and carl popper in context of positivism. if you are accusing the bible or normal religious types of using that argument and then bashing them for it, you are way off. if you are just making some point in another context then please remind me what that was because i lost track.

CK, nearly everyone uses that argument.
It's called Parsimony.

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.
