I've been flirting with scientific Pantheism a bit lately . . . it seems to value feelings of awe and love for the universe, as well as wonder and curiosity at the brute unexplainable fact of existence, and recognises that the application of reason is, for many, a route to this feeling (it is for me).<br /><br />I also agree Parrhesianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-22689753341937106292009-08-12T22:48:52.397-05:002009-08-12T22:48:52.397-05:00testingtestingJean Kazezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592593002719828153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-84977512250890165432009-08-11T10:45:30.271-05:002009-08-11T10:45:30.271-05:00We'll stay tuned for the next chapter.We'll stay tuned for the next chapter.s. wallersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448905469871566228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-16289316389914969882009-08-11T10:12:06.444-05:002009-08-11T10:12:06.444-05:00"Where does God come in?"
