http://beyond.asu.edu/papers/holder.pdf Heavenly Supreme Court votes in favor of upholding the current local laws of physics, supports keeping all the universes in the multiverse, supports “universe rights” (like states rights for American-Earthlings), so that each universe can retain it’s own separate laws of physics. And for the umpteenth time, turns down a motion to exempt state-sponsored capital punishment from the 8th Commandment. Death penalty advocates currently in exile from Heaven vow to continue to raise the issue, or to circumvent the Court.
Physicists are no longer fixated on immutable laws or meta-laws that exist without reason, and they now pray GOD will reveal all the laws of physics like he revealed the laws of good conduct, but maybe instead of on stone tablets, hopefully through an email or website.
The physicists have got this big computer in the GOD project, analogous to the SETI project, except instead of trying to get word from aliens, they are trying to get word from GOD.
Greg Harper, High Priest in Science’s Faith-based Belief System
Greg,
Being a physicist AND a fan of JC, you must really love this stuff. Of course I take your comment with all the affection and reaction formation you put into it. I’m touched, as always, by your sweet comments to me.
I know you to be a man of faith, as are all physicists.
The very notion of a physical law is a theological one in the first place. Isaac Newton first got the idea of absolute, universal, perfect, immutable laws from the Christian doctrine that GOD created the world and ordered it in a rational way. Some in the GOD faith see GOD as upholding the natural order from beyond the universe, while those of scientific faith think of the same laws inhabitating an abstract realm of perfect mathmatical relationships.
Like Paul Davies (author of Cosmic Jackpot) says, “until science comes up with a testable theory of the laws of the universe, its claim to be free of faith is manifestly bogus.”
