[QUOTE="Nathan Poe, post: 1035261, member: 4426"] Precisely. If God exists, he created gravity, and hasn't changed it in any way since humans started throwing things. I drop a rock 5,000 times, and it falls down and hits the ground the exact same way 5,000 times. Now, God (if he exists) [i]could[/i] change gravity so that on the 5,001st drop, the rock falls up. But if God (if he exists) didn't do this the last 5,000 times, do I have any reason to believe He'll do it [i]this[/i] time? Of course not. and if there is no God, then nobody's going to change gravity, so the rock won't ever fall up. None of this has anything to do with whether or not science is agnostic, but I'll answer anyway. "If we do our part..." Funny how nobody's sure exactly what "our part" is, hmmm? Every denomination, every religion, every belief, every philosophy has its own idea about what "our part" is. [/QUOTE]
