Found an interesting application for Hawking's recent Black Hole theory about how no information is lost when anything falls into one. Many physicists are saying that all information is preserved at the quantum level. Gives a plausible explaination for how God could know every detail about existence, every hair on your head, every sparrow that flies, etc. Maybe God lives in a black hole...
In contrast, seventeenth century mystic Jakob Boehme saw God as the abyss itself but gave God no characteristics other than that: "When I ponder, what God is, I then say: He is the One in contrast to the creature, as an eternal Nothing. He has neither a foundation, a beginning nor state; and is of naught, save only of Himself. He is the Will of the Abyss. He occupies neither space nor place. From eternity in eternity in Himself He comes to be. He is like or similar to nothing, and hath no particular place which He inhabits."
Anyway, my position on intelligent design is simply that science should be taught as science and religion should be taught as religion. Intelligent design should be taught as religion. Pretending to be scientific about intelligent design is ridiculous.
