Jet,
Are you already aware that the quote you use to sign off all your messages (emphasis mine):
As we survey all the evidence, the thought insistently arises that some supernatural agency - or, rather, Agency - must be involved. Is it possible that suddenly, without intending to, we have stumbled upon
scientific proof of the existence of a Supreme Being? Was it God who stepped in and so providentially crafted the cosmos for our benefit?
Prof. George Greenstein
a passage which invites the reader to suppose that the Supreme Being is revealed in all the
scientific evidence around us, continues with (all emphases mine):
Do we not see in its harmony, a harmony so perfectly fitted to our needs, evidence of what one religious writer has called "a preserving, a continuing, an intending mind, a Wisdom, Power and Goodness far exceeding the limits of our thoughts?" A heady prospect. Unfortunately I believe it to be illusory. As I claim mankind is not the center of the universe, as I claim anthropism to be different from anthropocentrism, so too I believe that the discoveries of science are not capable of proving God's existence-not now, not ever. And more than that: I also believe that reference to God will never suffice to explain a single one of these discoveries. God is not an explanation
which states quite explicitly that there is
no scientific evidence (not now, not ever) for God and in any event.."God is not an explanation" for the observations we make, a position completely at odds with your carefully selected quotation?
And if so, why would you knowingly use a paragraph that was so blatantly out of context to give a misleading impression of what Greenstein had to say?
