Thus, it makes it fruitless to even attempt to explain nature in a rational way because at the base of it all is a god who changes the rules as he goes. Whatever we don't understand can be attributed to magic by an unseen being and we don't have to search for explanations any more.

Right. The old "god created light on the way to earth" argument. One problem with that is that we observe events that occur at great distances from earth. It isn't just light but the whole spectrum of energy. In 1987 a supernova was observed. This supernova is close enough to earth that its distance can be measured by several methods. It is 170,000 light years away. Several predictions have been made about this supernova that have been found to be true. For example, the presence of Co-56 and Co-57 by gamma ray emission and by the light caused in the gases around the supernova by this radiation. The decay curve of these was also predicted and has conformed exactly to what was predicted. Furthermore, it was predicted that the shock wave from the supernova would light up the ring (1.37 light years in diameter) of debris that had been ejected from the star earlier. Since the mid 1990s astronomers have been watching that happen. It is just now reaching the maximum. You can see it the picture linked at the bottom.

What I am saying is that your claim is that your god created history. Your god created evidence of events that never really happened. You are saying that rather than predicting the course of events that are following natural laws that are understood, scientists are predicting the nature of the lies that your god created. Your god lied to us and created a history of events that never happened.

And he didn't have to make it look as if everything is expanding from a central point. He didn't have to make it look like a star went supernova 170,000 years ago if the universe is only 6000 years old. By the way, SN 1987 A is only one of several examples of your god creating lies.

As has been pointed out, dinosaurs were not reptiles. Some of them seem to have been endothermic and one lineage had feathers. But the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs anywhere, not even in Job. Read some Bible discussion written by someone not as prone to fantasy. It is beyond belief that anyone could read that story and claim that it is historical. That's called blind faith.
