Subject: RE: BS: Religious beliefs - no standing in law
mmmm... interesting.

At the risk of going off on tangents, (laws of physics rather than UK laws and their interpretation by courts,) no, I can't accept that all things are made from light. So your argument falls at the first hurdle.

I reckon the problem is that you are trying to put physics and metaphysics in the same room and expecting them to have sex. As much as many superstitious people would love that to happen, it is an idea put forward by those who reckon astrology and astronomy are one and the same.

there may be a sense of order to the otherwise chaotic, but there is not a shred of evidence I have seen that it is something to do with an interventionalist being. In fact, as Einstein pointed out, intervening would negate the laws that prove a sense of order. My take on that is that by intervening a god would prove he / she / it doesn't exist. Not as hard a concept as you think really, as quantum physics (we are talking about light, yes?) allows reality based on probability of observation.

So, in the wonderful words of Douglas Adams, "That just about wraps it up for God."
