Some scientists and philosophers -- folks like Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett most vocally lately -- argue that the conclusions of science, such as evolution, shred any possible basis for belief in God. "God" or "a god"? I
can't see how it can be the latter. That is, it's unclear how the conclusions of
evolutionary theory can "shred any possible basis for belief" in a god.
Make such a belief highly unlikely? Maybe. But impossible (logically?
empirically?)? I think it unlikely that statements of unqualified
"impossibility" are useful here. Bobby
