I disagree with that. Organized religion endeavors to palliate the
incomprehensible and ascribe it to imagined -- and equally
incomprehensible
-- causes. Hardly the same thing as explaining, which is usually taken to
mean deducing a cause from a perceived effect. Real science (not 'borg
science, which is close kin to religion) leaves a clear trail of logic
that
anybody can reconstruct. Religion, like a lot of fiction, demands that you
suspend your reliance on reason and accept tenets on faith.


We agree, one can't explain the
unexplainable, one can only create myths about it.
That thought was inherent in my last post.
