But that's just my take. Unless God just rolls the dice on how things happen...I would think God put's some thought into what the hell he is doing. If that is the case, science is just a study of God's thought processes, which I presume are not under the control of any other mysterious force...or else we would be worshipping that other force, no? >> This is absolutely insane... >> >> Find me a religion who's beliefs will stand up to the scientific method >> and I will become a convert.
