QuoteThose who place their faith in science can't explain how it all fits together.
That's not true. Science fits together very well. One of the main criterion for being accepted as a valid scientific theory is that it is self-consistent and fits in with everything else we know to be true. If it fails any of those tests, it gets dumped. Just because you can't explain how science fits it all together doesn't mean that others can't.

If your God created everything and evil is something than your God created evil ...
The spiritual beings God created in His image can create reality like God. Evil is a reality created by free will beings. God's reality is incompatible with evil realities.

If God's reality is incompatible with evil realities and we are living in a reality where evil exists then we're not living in God's reality, we're living in a spiritual being's reality who was created by God (or possibly another spiritual being who was created by God).

Stephen Hawking would disagree.

So would Albert Einstein.

I agree, and I will admit that I struggled with that as well. For better or worse, God's creations were originally perfect like Himself, but were given a free will to accept Gods reality or create their own. Evil is our contribution to His perfect plan. God has provided a solution for evil.

Not really. Scientists are basically "faithless" in terms of what they "believe" of science. Someone comes along who can prove that ether doesn't exist, they switch their fundamental understandings.

One of the really cool things about science is that once you go deep enough, you realize it really IS all connected.
Quantum effects, for example, are bizarre and counterintuitive. Heck, teleportation is possible if you delve into quantum mechanics deeply enough! But work in electronics enough and you will use a tunnel diode. And you'll discover that it operates faster than is possible - because the electrons/holes are going from one side of the device to the other without passing through the center. They are, effectively, teleported.
But if all you hear about is quarks and basic electronics, then it all seems to be completely disconnected. If all you learn about is the Bohr model of the atom, quantum mechanics won't make much sense. That's just because you haven't learned enough to understand what's really going on.
>Those who place their faith in science can't explain how it all fits together.
?? I can explain how quite a lot of it hangs together, and I'm not even a very good scientist. (In fact, just an engineer.) A better scientist can go to the quantum mechanical level to explain how it all fits together - and it fits together quite well.
>Yet, they chastise the religious for believing in things with no

I don't care what you believe; believe whatever makes you happy. (Provided you're not burning witches or blowing up buildings, of course.) And as long as people can keep their beliefs and science separate - and do not, for example, bring their belief in creationism into public health policy - that's fine with me.
