Though I do find it amazing when I think about it how all that serious academic study of belief that goes on in theology can still end up with someone looking up to the sky and imagining that they are somehow seeing God. What you're actually seeing is the moon, the planets the stars and the galaxies, all of which we've gone a long way towards explaining after centuries of hard work, wrong notions, blind alleys and religious interference. There is so much more to find out, and the quest is a wonderful and entrancing one that has fired human curiosity and imagination like nothing else. But then we stick God in there, the most dismal, abject and disappointing bolt-on that it's possible to conjure up. Well, with him there we might as well stop wondering about it all. Just spend the rest of our lives wondering about him instead. And there's plenty to wonder about. And no answers. The reality is at least a million times more wonderful. Or twenty times anyway. OK, I'm humble, as you know, so maybe only eight times more.
