When compared to the vastness of the universe revealed by science, it sure seems that way. It would seem that no religion on Earth embraces the cosmos that science has uncovered. And science is a search for the truth.
There are many more things that we don't know about the cosmos, than we do know. How is it that humans seem to have this evidence needed for the biggest question, who? For our case, it's a god of somekind.
(and a book written by humans is not proof)

Couldn't the authority be the emotions of humans that guided our invention of god?

Actually Carl Sagan believed that science and religion could co-exist. He was raised in a church but the religions of the day (and today) didn't seem to compare to the universe that science revealed. He didn't want to believe, he wanted to KNOW.

Why not humor us? Pray to your Father God and ask him with a sincere heart and you will see or hear God response. God Bless. Love. Amen.

Wow you know what you should do? You should write up your own book all about the cosmos and make a much bigger God for us including all the newly discovered cosmos. Then hide it in a sealed container where it might be found six thousand years from now and then you would have the whole thing solved. Oh and it would already be written in English so they wouldn't have to fight over the correct translation. Oh and you could have the author signed as God then it would be iron clad proof.

actually , the DVD The Blazing Center about the glory of God was better than he thinks... Carl shoulda watched it
Carl Sagan didnt believe in God at all
and was likely one depressed guy toward the end
and said things like if anyone is out there they probably wont even ever know we were ever here
ironically when you use the word COSMOS... insread of CHAOS.. you are borrowing capital from a Christian world view that we live in a orderly cosmos and not a random chaos... Carl was more influenced by Christian thought than he perhaps realized

Wow, and I would have said isn't it utterly glorious that a Being who could create a universe so grand and vast as our cosmos, would choose to love each and every petty little person on this planet as His own child.
I would have said there are many things we don't know about the cosmos, and many things we don't know about God.
Interesting we have two differing points of view when looking at the same sky :)

God is greater than all of His creations.
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of the Living God; total TRUTH!
What is contained in the Bible is exactly what God wanted it to contain.....every word, every punctuation mark.
when you ask a question and then exclude the ONLY reliable authority on the matter, you make yourself out to be a fool.
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools".
Romans 1:22

"Hear the words of the Star Goddess, the dust of Whose feet are the hosts of Heaven, whose body encircles the universe..." -- from The Charge of the Goddess, Wiccan liturgy
That sounds big enough to me. :-)

Replace your use of the word "Science" with the word "God" and
see what question you raise. Same argument!
