Not
much to report. Today I noticed how the science section of McNally Jackson is
full of books with God in the title. The God Delusion. The God
Problem. The God Particle. God Created The Integers. Perhaps
scientists should be wary of defending themselves against religion if the
result is bringing God into the science section. The question of whether or not
God exists, an unanswerable one, should not be there, in my opinion. I think
it’s okay for science to study the way religion affects people but not to
debate whether or not religion is valid. I understand that science and religion
lay claim to similar territory, just as the world’s religions all claim the
Holy Land. In that way, it makes sense that they overlap. I have not checked
out the religion section for its selection of books covering evolution, math
and physics.
I took
myself out to eat tonight. Gnocchi with mushroom sauce on Prince Street T’was
good. I think I’ll continue Infinite Jest
and go to sleep.
Love you,
Katie
