******** Here’s what I think it comes down to: a universe without God is an absurdity, and a universe with God is a mystery. It’s hard for our intellects to get comfortable with either, but at least the latter allows for the possibility of meaning and rationality and true personhood. *******

Everybody loves a good mystery, but trying to solve mysteries is an essential quality of being human.

Science and Religion are both attempts at getting to the end of the mystery, are they not?

No, they are not.

Religion is a defense mechanism, an alibi, to excuse deviance from God’s commandments.

“Science” is another defense mechanism to sidestep the everpresent evidence of God.

No, I don't think they are. Or if they are they have failed badly.
