I think in a nutshell they want to unify all knowledge and to celebrate it. But yeah, have another go at reading when you have the energy to make sense of it!
OK, I couldn't wait so I read it again. I get it. It's kind of exactly what I believed when I labelled myself as a deist, only I couldn't actually articulate it quite as well. I think, if anything, people who can't simply look at the scientific method and know that it is, will embrace this way of thinking. The way I'm reading it is that God is the driving forces of reality. However, reality is simply expressed as that which controls all that is. We cannot change reality, rather we are bound by its rules.
The only difference I see between this and the beliefs that I previous held, is the intention. I always believed that the universe, evolution, gravity etc. where an expression of a greater force's intention, if that makes sense. I do think they kind of allude to that too, towards the end of the first article. If they do, however, that would lead back to an intelligent creator, would it not?
