Just curious if any theists can answer this. Any claim in science, right or wrong, has religion come up with a BETTER answer to the claim?

Yes. The origins of the universe. Or the beginning of life. Science is completely unable to answer either one of them.

Neither is religion. God did it does not explain how a god did this.

Wrong. "I don't know" is the right answer about the beginning of the universe, not "goddunnit". Science already has produced self replicating RNA, DNA's precursor, in the lab.

He spoke and created it. That's how he did it.

Refer to our discussion of cosmic consciousness and the phenomenon of imagination, Harry.

Which means God imagined our Reality into existence in His consciousness.

The main objectives of both religious faith and science are not in conflict. Humans created both.

No one is saying that. I'm saying God has told us he spoke and created it. Until you can come up with a better explanation, that's the one I'm going with. But simply saying "goddidn'tdoit" or "sciencedidit" isn't really an answer.

Having said that, so humans have manipulated matter to "produce" self-replicating RNA? So what? Let me know when scientists can create their own matter--and don't ride on God's coat tails to do it.

Aside from your bible being the claim, not the proof, you know this how?
