The Ownership of Science

[Paleophyte]

How do you figure?

Because even if that quark shit is true, it has nothing to do with what happens to us on a spiritual level.

Then allow me to explain before you judge.

"That quark shit" is a description of the early moments of our universe. You don't need to understand it for the sake of this discussion beyond the words "unimaginably hot".

At the other end of the time scale you have a universe populated almost exclusively by black holes and that state will exist for some ten million trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion years before even those finally evaporate into thinly dispersed, maximally entropic radiation. More simply described as "unspeakably cold".

The current Goldilocks conditions that allow our form of life exist for vanishingly short moment between the universe's fiery origins and its icy destiny. The notion that it is finely tuned to produce the sentient skin disease currently afflicting small parts of one insignificant planet is laughable. The creator would have to be the dimmest bulb never whelped to design a life-producing engine that hilariously inefficient. You and I simply are not what this universe is all about.

Here's a nifty YouTube video. It's longish but a damned sight shorter than its topic.

Not all perspectives are deserving of attention.

What makes the scientific perspective more deserving of attention than any other?

Have you ever watched a faith-based rocket launch?
