No, its not about religion .... its about understanding
the Nature of the Cosmos we inhabit (or not?).

Scientists were originally known as Philosophers.
This is Philosophy in action.

    Unfortunately, this post indeed has a lot to do with so call "religion" anything that seeks to persuade another based on spiritual matters either fact or fiction in my opinion is spiritual. We tend to want to seperate the scientific accurances from spiritual. When in fact one only exists because of the other. Never the less, one can indeed get a "glimpse behind that veil" in this natural relm by reading the bible. In todays world this concept is almost up there with cursing. Everything that you can think of or imagine has already been answered in this book. If only we would devout the time to search it.

          The beauty of quantum physics is the theoretical nature of the science allows interpretation to support many different theories, even opposing ones.

          Legendary physicist John Wheeler said the cosmos "has not really happened, it is not a phenomenon, until it has been observed to happen."
          As in - if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound.

          or - if a man says something in a forest and no one hears him, is he still wrong

        Kay -- maybe we don't really have opposing theories - perhaps they are just the bits and pieces we have personally encountered from the same one. From you local friendly platonist.

    I think the Cosmos equals God. It's the highest intellect.

      Using this formula, then; divide facts by faith. If you have no faith the overwhelming facts don't matter, and ignorance of the facts divided by faith fails. Ergo: no correlation.
