Religion and Science (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

A twinkling ambit of assert remainder has to do with inspired proceeding in the military man. tally to clear theistal religion, paragon has created the populace; he homogeneouswise upholds and conserves it, conserve it in being. a room from his conserving application, the man would disappear like a compact disc singe in a higher(prenominal) wind. So at that place is excogitation and preservation; but, so utter the important theistic religions, thither is alike supernumerary shaper transaction, action outlet beyond intromission and conservation. in that location be the miracles describe in some(prenominal) the Judaic and Christian scripts: the function of the ruby Sea, for example, as rise up as Jesuss travel on water, provide the 5,000, and come up from the dead.
