The absence of knowledge = God?
From today's Sunday's New York Times Magazine:
In Response to "Darwin's God" by Robin Marantz Henig, March 1, a reader wrote April 1 to say,
"God may be invoked because the explanatory power of science ultimately breaks down, leaving a vacuum that must be filled."
A very enlightened John Greenwald responded on April 15:
"But why should God be invoked in the face of the unknown? Is it not enough to say, "I don't know"? Imagining supernatural answers precludes the possibility of finding verifiable answers. This makes God and ignorance synonymous."
Rock on, John, rock on!
