The point is not whether you believe God exist or not. The point is, there are many things in this world today that we still can’t prove. So, many if not all of us have something we believe in, even when we can’t prove it. It doesn’t make you coo-coo for believing in things that can’t be proven.[/quote]

AN: Brian wants to believe in a modern, science-based “Progressive” world, but you’re correct: There are many, many things in the world we still cannot prove and Science alone does not provide all the answers. Moreover, with “pure” Science you get eugenics, the Tuskegee Experiments and Peter Singer.

I’m sure if you asked Brian, he’d be fully supportive of quantum physics as a discipline, but uncomfortable with how close it strays to spirituality (God Particle, anyone?) in some of its explanations. As it begins the systematic destruction of classical Newtonian physics, it also illustrates that NO science is settled and what we don’t know dwarfs what we do know.

Taking the mendacious approach of denying God simply because you think you’re “too smart”, ignores the role of spirituality (not religion) in science and also robs the world of wonder (by embracing the soulless god of pure science.)
