The reflecting theologian

Close on definition. Atheism is either the lack in belief of God or the denial that such a being could exist. The first one does not, and could not take faith, but we will deal with the secnd one because that is what I am. Strong atheism looks at the universe and points out that it is inconsistant with the idea of the divine. For starters, the universe exists. An all powerful God has no reason to create a universe. Science is a process. The process has provided answers to many questions people had. I do not have faith in science.

The Sarawak river, just near our hotel is a huge one, compared to that of Singapore's one. The first day ended with the dinner at the Junk and after that was the fated match between Arsenal and Birmingham... no forgivenes...
