Problems understanding naturalistically the beginning of the universe
RE: Problems understanding naturalistically the beginning of the universe

When they're embarrassed to say "magic", which is what they really mean, it gets painful. But magic is equally poorly defined anyway.

Any definition of the word which would have rendered electrical lawn mowers and toasters "supernatural" 200 years ago is not very interesting, let alone radio waves.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
