ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Scientific Perspectives on Divine Action

Scientific perspectives on divine action is about how people who believe in science (like doctors and engineers) also believe that some things are more powerful than science, like a higher power or something supernatural. People try to explain certain events with science, but sometimes they find that it can’t explain everything. That’s when they turn to divine action which is based on the idea that something beyond science is taking control or playing a role in certain events. So if an event that science can’t explain happens, like a miracle, people might think that divine action was responsible for it.
