“The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.”

This comprehensibility fits right in with the Judeo-Christian, Abrahamic view of God.

God is good, consistent, and FAITHFUL. He is not capricious, as most other religions define their deities.

If He were capricious, it would be an exercise in futility to try to empirically discover the laws of the universe.

This is why all Modern Science developed in Western (Judeo-Christian based) cultures. It’s also why Islam completely stopped advancing in the 12th century - they had killed off or converted all that didn’t believe in Allah (”who must not be ‘chained’”).

I so agree. Thank you so much, Mr. B, for your excellent post!
