(73 posts)7. So any belief in any god would require one to willfully suspend
one's understanding of the laws of nature.
By definition, a belief in anything "super"- natural, requires that one make precise and willful exceptions to the laws of physics or other natural laws governing the universe.
Looks to me like believers in a god reject science every time they imagine or think about or pray to their god.
