From, of all places, a comment on Slashdot:
Imagine two baskets.
One contains all the things explained by the phrase “god did it”. The other contains all the things explained by “science”.
A long time ago, everything was in the god basket, and nothing at all was in the science basket. The weather? God did it. Pregnancy? God did it. Disease? God did it. Where does stuff come from? God did it.
Then, as humanity learned more stuff, things got taken out of the god basket and put into the science basket. The weather. Pregnancy. Disease. Where stuff comes from, right back until a few billionths of a second before the big bang, getting closer all the time.
So what’s left in the god basket? Good question — but that’s not where I’m going with this, because actually that’s irrelevant.
The point is this: there has never — never ever ever — been a single thing that has been taken out of the science basket and put back in the god basket. Not one. Ever.
The traffic is all one way.
