Tonus Wrote:But to the atheist, that god is incomprehensible
Any being as preoccupied with what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom isn't that incomprehensible.

I wasn't referring to the human qualities he displays, but to the general concept of a being who built the universe with the snap of his fingers yet needs to give himself a bloody nose in order to forgive people for being just as imperfect as he designed them to be. And so on. Being an obnoxious moral busybody doesn't make god incomprehensible, it just makes him a Republican.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
