In my experience, every single religious argument eventually boils down to an appeal to mystery. I‘ve never encountered one that didn’t. If anyone can cite one, I would love to hear it.
This phenomenon is unexplainable by current science.
Conclusion: Moses talked to a burning bush!
Any chance it was a cannabis bush?
Well, cannabis plants aren’t bushy, and cannabis doesn’t cause hallucinations, so I’m going with no.
tbh if I was some bronze age guy wittnessing an apocalyptic thunderstorm, I’d also believe the thunder god is mad at something
I have thought for a long time that religious people are deeply incurious. Science attempts to explain the details. They don’t want that. They want an explanation that makes them feel like magic is real and that things they don’t understand cannot be understood, therefore they aren’t lacking for not understanding them.
I find that strange too. As a Christian, I love science. Science had given me thousands of opportunities to say, “is that how that works? Huh. Isn’t God awesome.” I find science and God to be no more competing explanations than an architect and the principles of engineering as the reasons a building exists.
I didn’t downvote you and I’m not sure why someone would. I think it’s great you can see there not only no contradiction between faith and science, but one can strengthen the other. I’ve always thought that should be the case, myself.
This lazy thinking carries over into other areas as well. It is epecially noticable in politics. Demagogues will continue to keep people divided into cults. Free-thinkers don’t stand a chance against such anti-intellectual passions.

When the god of the gaps ends up in a gap this 🤏 big.
