And this statement brings us back to the heart of the faith and science.

For faith, it's "God did it." or the Virgin Mary in a dog's butt, or Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich.

For science, it's as yet to be explained phenomena.

In light of the diminishing realm of the supernatural it makes less and less sense to say "God did it."

Faith and science don't have to be contradictory because faith is by definition the suspension of the need for explanation.
