I enjoyed reading the titled article in the Mukto-Mona English Blog by Victor Stenger.
And I made the following comments there:
It is a thought-provoking article indeed. I believe, the timeless song of Rabindranath Tagore, "bismoye tai jage amar gaan" (the wonder raises songs in me), will be in play over more than the foreseeable future.
While something vs. nothing is an intellectually stimulating argument, I do not see the relevance of what is known as God here. Neither something nor nothing needs God. They certainly do not need any prophet or avatar. They certainly do not need any religious nonsensical dogma or absurd structure.
While something vs. nothing is basically an innocent and intellectually exciting argument, God vs. no God and your God vs. my God are playing out as serious fights in the hands of the brainwashed religious block-heads. The God vs. no God and your God vs. my God clashes have also turned out to be serious human right violation factors. I think we need to discuss and debate more on God vs. no God and your God vs. my God.
