Pope John Paul II and the trouble with miracles
#2
RE: Pope John Paul II and the trouble with miracles
There will come a time in the future when our boundless curiosity riding on the shoulders of our sharpest and most intelligent brethren will discover something new and astounding about the universe, whether it be in astrophysics, biology or any of the other scientific disciplines, that will be revolutionary. At that moment, mark my words, the religious will come forth and claim it as their own or that it further confirms the existence of a supernatural being.

Furthermore, just as the flat-earth society, and the heliocentric society, and the evil spell society have been disproved and cast aside, this new discovery will fill in another “gap” in our knowledge and the religious will find themselves standing on an ever shrinking iceberg of mysticism and delusion.

God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
