"Theology is not what we know about God, but what we do not know about Nature." Robert Ingersoll said this and I think it's a great statement.

God fills the emptiness yet to be explained by science. Therefore, God is ignorance.
OK, but isn’t it easier to just say that you do not know something?

I like the quote, and although not an athiest I agree with it. The problem with theology that I see is it is an attempt to scientifically study and quantify the unquatifiable. Just my opinion though.

That is exactly right. Religion tries to explain that which science cannot (yet). But once science does, religion refuses to acknowledge it and just keep perpetuating their superstitions. Sad but it's just human nature I suppose. Probably the kind of trait that grew out of evolution because sureley a creationist god wouldn't mess up like that.

Nice quote!
I'd like to add that what we do not know about nature is decreasing all the time.

As long as god is not nature. It's really cool though, how about "natural penomena"?

Theology is studying God and very few people who call themselves Atheists actually are
