Why science won't prove God
( Heck. I can recall reading passages which say God's wisdom appears nonsense when viewed logically. Since Faith is not based in logic, this should be no shock. That is not to be considered as demeaning either Faith or Logic : both are integral parts of the human condition. Of course, I consider a world which yields predictability non-random by definition ; and refuse to see "God" as a term denoting a known [ pretty tough when talking about the imperceptable ], so there you are.
Genesis 1 ! In the beginning was the ****, and the **** was God.
