My Superturtle is Better than Your Superturtle
Sunday, April 20th, 2008For [Sean] Carroll, as for many scientists, unexplained laws are thus are the starting point of scientific reasoning, the levitating superturtle at the bottom that holds up the whole tower, just as God is the levitating superturtle that holds up physical existence in monotheism. After 30 years of listening to sterile bickering in the science/religion debate I am utterly bored with the refrain from each side that, in effect, “my superturtle is better than your superturtle.”
