Ok John, but your reply got me thinking. What if God was powerful enough to create or alter the universe, but was not all-knowing, all powerful? On the technology thing, while we're building in the solar system, and looking at stellar data for this, that, and the other, my point is, might as well, check it out. Your point is, there's nothing to check. I could be asking for astronomers to search for pink unicorns as well, unless you think one of the pink unicorns is God?

If space aliens existed they should be easy to detect, the fact we haven't heard a peep from them makes me think they don't exist. And God existed then teleology would be at the heart of things rather than cause and effect, but we don't see the slightest hint of that, and God is just as silent as ET. > Maybe if we built better space telescopes,enormously, better, we'd find evidence, maybe? Better space telescopes would be great but they're not needed for that. If God or ET existed it would be obvious to a blind man in a fog bank.
