We have all these believers who claim that the Universe is so incredibly well ordered that its orderly nature is actually proof that God exists. What humans call science is the system of examining this order and making sense of it: we have determined that the Earth is composed of 190+ elements, with a description of each. we have determined the nature of gravity and how that works, we have determined from the nature of the order of the world how to make steam engines, how to make and use electricity and so forth.
But when it comes to the nature of God, well, then the believers say, hands off that, you cannot know that, it is far too complicated, your reasoning won't work there, and blah blah blah, we need to return to thinking of ourselves as being sheep.
The attitude that these believers take is exactly the attitude that kept us from discovering ANYTHING about the physical world. Jesus Christ technology is no technology at all. It has gotten us no where and is sure to never getting us anywhere. And THAT is what I am ridiculing: the idea that since it is too complicated and was not made in an easy way to comprehend, we must give up and stop trying.
This is the attitude of the medieval church, the monks, the Taliban and the Jews who have spent 3000 years annotating the Torah. And it is a path to nowhere and nothing. The path that causes people to give up the last 600 years of technology and say, "we will now return to being like sheep".
