    The Christian concept of reward and punishment
    Handed out by an omnipotent, omniscient God,
    Is derivative of the family experience,
    The child and parent, a conception of our world.

    Myth’s performance is now over its tasks;
    The artists have taken off their masks.
    The illusion is fading; it couldn’t last;
    The science behind is appearing fast.

    They tried to undo evolution’s pace of snails,
    But the stratified fossils ever told the tales
    Of no special humans at once unveiled,
    But of only natural selection’s weathered sails.

    On and on they say of Who paved the way,
    Then even tell the nature of such Theity,
    And on and on they presume further upon,
    Joining that group called ‘On and On Anon’.

    Not much sign of science being worshipped by (ex-)President Trump and his many followers, from where I'm standing. On the contrary, lots of your countrymen seem to be willing to demonstrate in the streets against the science.

    Without mathematics, there would be no worship of Science, there would be no Science at all, only God.

    That is only part of it.

    IMO, in toto, science is the study and codification of natural patterns

    Why do we study patterns in nature?

    No, I am talking about patterns in "everything". It only has to be physical for observation.

    More than that , it has to physical from the start , to the minutist, tiniest before being observable , to being physically observable . To us . It always was physical .

    As I said "for observation". But we can observe only a tiny part of reality.

    What has that got to do with my post above .

    Because it a wholly subjective statement and we KNOW that the best we can do is GUESS.
    The rest is hubris.

    We exist . Nothing , no-thing , can not ever become a thing . We have been through this before Write4U .
