Hmmm. I love the way Scientists who believe in “god” keep minimizing everything “god’ is supposed to be until “god” becomes nothing more than some point of time, or event in the evolution, of the universe. “God” is not something omniscient that cares about us and controls the events in the Universe; he’s just up there on some science room “timeline” — “look, there he is!”

Its pretty much a rhetorical trick to get people to say they believe in “god.” “Well, you think “X” happened; ergo you too must believe in god.” The ether is everywhere at once; I believe ether exists; could ether be god and could I believe in god?

If what they are saying is that the “universe” itself, and its laws, are “god” then maybe I do believe in “god”; but why call it a stupid name? I just leave it at “I believe in the Universe (have to) and its laws (ditto)” and try not to anthropomorphize it or give it some “secret” motive.

Its is what it is, boys and girls; we are sitting in the midst of this “god” thing now, and its not always pretty.
