Many people who feel caught in a perceived origins conflict between the Bible and science subconsciously think of the origins question as a pie. Various aspects of origins are evaluated to decide whether God did it or a naturalistic process could be identified. The “origins pie” is then sliced up with each piece either going to “supernatural” or “natural” causation. The inevitable result as science progresses is that God’s portion gets smaller and smaller, and overall, God becomes no longer useful or necessary.
