Actually I believe that has happened throughout history numerous times. Lighting, droughts, natural calamities etc. I’m not saying they all got it right.What I said was I do not believe that children, if left alone to explore the world, would invent an all-powerful deity to explain what they observe.
I agree.In that sense, yes, the aspect of theism that 'explains' natural phenomena with "god did it" is not compatible with science.
But be fair would a child on its own invent modern science investigation?It is not an acceptable approach to scientific investigation.
Put science to the same test. What is more likely to happen? Science or deity?
See there has to be so much more than just your blank slate theory.
