God having the ability to foretell man's actions and thoughts does not take our freewill away. It just means He knows what we are going to do with our freewill. For the science part I was talking more with Biology, with states like Leviticus 17:14.
@reeceyboy111 Hi, we often use our "extra footage" so people can see the stuff edited out of the main video.... Usually this stuff is a bit more focused on one particular point, in this case Newton's theology, etc.
Religion is commonly practiced by many people throughout the world today. I believe in the end where it states as a whole, what does this mean is referring to on how were came to be and why we are here. What do the facts say about us, is what he is referring to. Personally, I believe that fact shows that Christianity / Judaism is true, simply because there is some science in the Bible, and a ton of predictions that came true that at the time they were written, no one believed it would happened
Why should nature/the universe/whatever mean anything? That's what I don't get. It can only mean anything if it was intended to mean anything. That implies a creator, for which there is no scientific evidence whatsoever. There is no reason to assume that the universe means anything.
re: Leviticus 17:14 (King James Version) , no mention of a double helix or amino acids or anything ,and that's your science in the Bible,as I said a vague ambiguous statement that could mean anything . Also you can not have predetermined free will it's a contradiction in terms .
"Religion is commonly practiced by many people throughout the world today." In most developed country's People are secularists paying lip services to religion , it 's a far cry from the 1600's . "science in the Bible" what like m=mc2 or quantum physics or are we talking vague ambiguous statements of a translated text open to numerous interpretations ? "ton of predictions" A belief in this negates free will ,think about it .
I fail to see why putting everything together is a theological question ? also I have no issue in excepting science grew out of religion and the point ? that fact does not give any validity to religion just points to the fact that religion has been superseded .
Putting everything together is a philosophical question perhaps ,theological questions are completely Irrelevant and are inherently biased ,it is intellectually dishonest of a theologian to try and hang on the coat tales of science ,one discipline is faith based the other is based on facts .
Such a beautiful and true final answer.

most early scientists and mathematicians were clergymen and aristocrats because the clergy and aristocracy were (by far) the best educated.

"Quodlibetal"! That's such an amazing word!

@blenderpanzi both are dumb questions. If there was no creator what created the universe?
great point thanks for sharing
@blenderpanzi what if pinochio said 'my nose is going to grow'?
but the last part, dint quite answer the question
theology does not spur scientific question.....man's curiosity spurs questions which can lead to theology or science

Does the whole meaning anything? No, and human knowledge does not constitute "the whole."
