Dear Aparthib,
Thank you for your reply!
You seem to be chiding me for holding my opinions. It is as though
you are saying that by virtue of the fact that I am a long time
member of M-M I should follow certain views. Am I reading you correctly?
You will never hear me throwing cold water on science. I come from a
family of scientists. Scientists are not fundamentalist by nature.
They are curious and like to explore and discover. :-)
But (and it is a big but) scientists have no more knowledge of the
origin of the universe than a person who believes in God. All the
talk about reason and proof simply can not enter into a discussion on
God. Evolution is evolution and has no bearing on the existence, or
not, of god. There is no proof one way or the other. As much as I
would like to say God is a fairy tale, it would be egotistical of me
to say so.
You said Cosmologist Barrow ends his book The Origin of the Universe
with the line "We can never know the origin of the universe." Don't
you think that is a defeatist statement and doesn't it fly in the
face of science?
Perhaps we do not understand because we are locked into our own
belief boxes and are unable to see past the end of our nose. Perhaps
when science does figure it all out it may be just too simple for
words. Everything is simple after it is known. But, for now nothing
is known!
Dawkins and others strike me as very dismissive of other's views. We
would do well to remember that no human is God.
Thanks again for your post. Nice to talk to you. I don't get much
time to write.
M-M has been very successful.
Audrey
