I've asked Christians this question before and usually it ends up in an angry argument getting off topic or they haven't given me a plausible answer yet:So if there were a god doesn't it defy free will then? If God is the three O's (Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent) as we define a God to be, then he knows what choices we will make.

Gaytor replied to Calvin Tse's discussion 'Religion and Science.. do the two Coexist?'"It used to be that god was here to explain everything. We shown that to not be the case. The sun rises because the earth spins, not because god makes it so. So why would you introduce or even entertain god in the beginning? You've posted that…"
Gaytor replied to Calvin Tse's discussion 'Religion and Science.. do the two Coexist?'"Since the post notes the Christian Religion, I must disagree with you. The Bible lays out conditions that clearly lay the age of the earth out as young. That is not a position of science. The Bible lays out earthquakes as being caused by god's…"

Kirk Holden replied to Calvin Tse's discussion 'Religion and Science.. do the two Coexist?'"The Dalia Lama is on record w.r.t. science that he (and his followers) will relinquish any rational explanation from science for natural phenomena.

Ricardo replied to Calvin Tse's discussion 'Religion and Science.. do the two Coexist?'"You say that religion and science are" both trying to prove the meaning of existence". That is not true. Science does not try to prove, or to find, the meaning of existence. Scientists are much more humble than that, and only try to…"
Nelson replied to Calvin Tse's discussion 'Religion and Science.. do the two Coexist?'"now you're back to saying that science and religion are the same... lol.
conceptually they are the same? in what sense are they conceptually the same?
