Science is about observation, experimentation, rational analysis and
logical conclusion. The universe /as is/, is all that can be observed.
Scientists have to accept with humility the limitations of finite
minds to understand and explore the invisible and ponder over what is
not subject to sense perceptions. Let the philosophers do that.
Theology, unlike pagan religions of the world, is about the
REVELATIONS from the Theos. The Scriptures of the Patriarchs, Prophets
and the Apostles make unique claim that they are direct REVELATIONS
from */Adonai (plural) YHWH (singular) Elohim (uni-plural/*).

"Theology: An effort to explain the unknowable
by putting it into terms of the not worth knowing"
--- H.L. Mencken
"If atheists repudiate traditional faith it is not only because this
faith is in contrast with the affirmations of believers themselves, with
reason that denies the idea of God, but because they have understood
that false dogmas go against true morality, against the social demands
of the world we live in. The belief in God is not only a simple
illusion, a purely theoretical error. It misrepresents the practical
direction of life by orienting it in a chimerical direction. It goes
against the social realty, against the essential needs of mankind which
are the primary motor and the ultimate goal of every morality".
--- Prosper Alfaric, professor of theology at the Sorbonne
How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you are born,
the local religion always turns out to be the true one.
--- Richard Dawkins
