Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Well, I am utterly uninterested in notions that the cosmos is beyond science, because, quite simply, it isn't. The only things that are beyond science are the things invented by deluded minds. This universe operates according to the laws of physics, some of which we haven't yet got our heads round, but none of which, so far, have ever been breached. And I'll tell you summat else. If your God has, in his infinite wisdom, given you the wherewithal to ponder such conundrums, then I think he would be fully expecting you to use that intellect to the full. The very last thing he would be expecting is for you to look at a tree and declare that it's so wonderful that only a creator could have come up with it. He would be fully expecting you to use that mighty brain of yours to explore the wonders of evolution, the fact that a billion tiny changes over three billion years resulted in that tree. How bloody marvellous is that, and how redundant does it make your God. In fact, beside that wonder of nature that is evolution, he pales. He's a hopeless explanation that can't even, himself, be explained.
