The Baha'i view avoids these arguments today, and considers Creation not supernatural, but by natural processes we observe through Methodological Naturalism. In the Baha'i Faith Methodological Naturalism is a form of independent Revelation describing Creation from the human perspective, and ALL scripture including Baha'i scripture must conform to the evolving nature of scientific knowledge. One key difference between the Baha'i Faith and the view of ancient religions, is that the Baha'i view is spiritual and physical knowledge is temporal and changes evolving over time. Ancient religions classically believe that some religious beliefs are fixed and do not change, and as a result the constantly evolving changing knowledge of science is threatening in some way with the foundation of their beliefs. I have discussed the concepts and views of the Baha'i Faith in a thread in Comparative Religions and here in Philosophy, which you may read and comment. JimL has had strong objections to my arguments, because he considers the Baha'i view of the Nature of God and Creation illogical. I do not appeal to human logic in this particular argument, because regardless of whether you believe in God or not, human logic could not comprehend the Worlds of God regardless of whether they are real or not.
