This Year's Templeton Prize Winner

Hey, whatever curls his really long noodle.

"Knowledge creation" seems pejorative or outright a contradiction in terms.

New empirical findings do not imply God. To deny this would be like supposing that the discovery that the Earth is not the only planet in our solar system implies God or intelligent life on other planets.

Being a planet does not imply life on it. Just because Earth and Jupiter are planets, that doesn't mean Jupiter has intelligent life. And it certainly doesn't imply that Jupiter has more than intelligent life, whatever that would be.

I use the term knowledge creation simply because knowledge is not discovered. Facts are discovered, the knowledge is created through the method by which those facts are interpreted and applied. There is no prejoration implied.

As for the prize winner's findings, of course what he found does not prove the existence of anything "supernatural". The filter through which he interpreted 'the facts' implies to many that there may be something outside of our ability to experience empirically. Its not all that convincing to me, as I prefer my religion a little more mystical and think that trying to prove it scientifically is a waste of everyone's time.

As for his theories I find them interesting.
