  1. If a scientist is asked the question, “Do you believe that the universe was created,” and the scientist answers, “Yes,” that is not science. That is religion. When the Catholic priest Georges Lemaître created the Big Bang theory, it followed that the Big Bang theory would be enmeshed with the idea that the universe was created by a god, as Stephen Hawking learned when he visited the pope. ... "In 1985, I attended a conference on cosmology at the Vatican in Rome. The gathering of scientists had an audience with Pope John Paul II. He told us that it was okay to study the workings of the universe, but we should not ask questions about its origin, for that was the work of God." Stephen Hawking

  2. Before the microscope was invented, anything that could not be seen by human eyes, was said to be supernatural. Diseases of all sorts was said to be punishment from gods for sins committed by humans against the gods. After the microscope was invented, scientists could SEE that diseases among all animals had natural causes. Now people are carrying on the same habit with the term quantum physics. Those that want to believe a creator exists, refer to quantum physics as being supernatural and spiritual. Just because we can’t see something with our eyes, doesn’t mean that what we can’t see is supernatural, or spiritual. What is natural, is the human need to hallucinate. “We are all hallucinating all the time, including right now. It’s just that when we agree about our hallucinations, we call that reality.” Anil Seth … neuroscientist.
