IN OUR GOD

Of the vast array of BBC radio programs now available on podcast the one I get is In Our Time on which Melvyn Bragg and assorted intellectuals discuss the history of ideas. I am a huge fan of IOT, probably the most erudite 42 minutes on the airwaves each week. But the reality is I never listen to those podcasts - there just never seems to be time... However, I do each week read Melvyn's newsletter which accompanies the show. Here is an interesting quote from his most recent offering:

At lunch with one of my oldest and best friends, I remembered
that I’d said after the programme “after all that you’ve said, it makes
faith seem quite plausible”. Because the basics of modern physics is
so ridiculously implausible, ie: unproveable, untrackable, unknowable,
it does make the idea that a god (in whom Darwin believed and, of
course, Newton) created what’s what.

Indeed it does Melvyn, indeed it does.
