This whole "science can't explain everything" attitude kills me. "Science can't explain everything, therefore god" - is basically the argument.
I suppose this really speaks to the whole supernatural vs. natural worldview thing. Nature encompasses all that exists.. so if something is beyond nature, that means it is fantasy.
Religious folks will speak about god being "outside of our dimension" as if they have total understanding of what they're saying and yet will, in the same breath, tell you that carbon dating is bullshit. Jesus fucking Christ these people drive me up a wall sometimes.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
