Atheologian
John Frum
I can be a real dick sometimes when it comes to a discussion of reality vs. philosophy, but I do recognize the two are not entirely exclusive. They are both derived from, and analyzed by, logic. Curiosity and the thirst for knowledge seem to be a charactaristic of intelligent life, and the ultimate basis of philosophy. I'm not sure that without them, the great philosophers throughout history would have pondered and explored some of the more important features of modern life. Would we care about exploring space, if we already knew everything? Would we care to see what lurks in the depths of the oceans, or what lies buried in the Earth? What I want to know, is where God should fit into this. Is God the motivation to learn, the beauty of the discovery, or both? Or, is he neither of those things, and something more obvious? What role should we assign God?
