When is it reasonable to hope for a deeply satisfying answer, and when should we expect that much of even a beautiful pattern is just due to random chance? Is there any way to guess in advance?
I'm reading the book, "Why Faith Matters" for a class at church and I haven't yet gotten to the chapter on "Does Science Disprove Religion?" but we already discussed it in class. I have trouble putting my answer to your question into words, but the sense of Wonder and Mystery are significant. I think humans do hope for a deeply satisfying answer. Science is science, religion is different. Asking one to prove or disprove the other means you're asking the wrong questions.
