Last week I was on a university panel formed to debate the issue of science
and religion. My argument was the same one I've been making for years: given
the known laws of physics - in particular, general relativity (Einstein's
theory of gravity) and quantum mechanics - we have no choice but to conclude
that God exists.

        Isn't this the same old "We don't know what caused it so it must
have been God" line of...reasoning...?

        It's improper logic.  Not scientific at all.

How about G-d? Or "Father"? That works!
