Me, I'm just as happy with an unexplainable universe that
obeys well defined laws and has observable properties. Heck, I'm HAPPIER
with that than with an unexplainable god who loves us but doesn't have
to obey any laws or have any physical manifestation.

I got news for you, Mr. Science.  The more we learn about the universe, the more
we see how random it is and how little we do/can know about it.  It is a God who
represents order out of chaos.

False order explaining nothing and presenting no manifestation,
predictable and useful and tangible chaos that you can use at home.

That "universe is chaotic and we don't understand it all" bit is a bit
stale. Yes. we do not understand everything there is to understand, but
so what? No amount of praying and waiting for revelation produced the
light bulb. That was science.

Your news is old news, don't bother stopping the presses.
