No one said that science was everything to everyone. Literature, for example, is outside the scope of science (for the time being). > Let that something be God. Ahh.. see if only it were so simple. Is it a God (all powerful, omnipotent) or a god (limited supernatural power), or gods. Or a selfless, ill defined entity. And if it IS God, is it Islamic God, or Judaic God, Christian God (Catholic God, Orthodox God, Protestant God), Zoroastrian God, or some other ill defined diety. Exactly which god are we talking about? And then, why him and not the other gods or spirits out there? You can believe whatever you want to believe, fine. Just don't pretend it is science, or that it has the same intellectual certitude that science does. -Lenny
