I just don't get the hubbub around the debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham. Or the argument that science and theology are mutually exclusive ventures. Don't both only expand our understanding that the Universe and God are unknowable? It seems to me that the more we "know" in either area, only points up the more we don't know. The mystery that is Life, the Universe, and Everything; the mystery that is God.
The Creationist argument was debunked by Christian theologian Augustine of Hippo in the early 5th century. I mean, really. Why are we still even having this discussion?
As St. Augustine wrote, way back when: God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you "understand" you have failed. (quotations mine)
