It's not all scientifical

I'm uncomfortable with the idea that science will one day explain everything. I don't really want it to.

But I have no real fear around this because I don't think it ever will, despite what Stephen Hawking says. I know he's smarter than me, but I think he's wrong on the idea that science will answer everything and negate the "need" for a creator.

What a profoundly arrogant statement, it seems to me. A little too God-like for my tastes. Perhaps it takes a God-wanna-be to prove once and for all that God doesn't exist.

It's interesting that professed atheists, all the rage these days, are really just as close-minded, arrogant and obnoxious as your average baptist preacher.

I say this as a person who is no big fan of organized religion. The religious "story" is so rife with contradictions, it bleeds any credibility it could possibly hope for.

My favourite contradiction is that God is omnipotent and omnipresent, yet seems to possess all the nasty characteristics of petty human behaviour: jealousy, greed, low self esteem, anger issues, cult mentality, narcissism, homophobia, misogyny…the list goes on.

But as George Carlin famously said, he looooves you.

I meander once again. I can think of a long list of phenomena science will never explain.

Here is a partial list:

• The bra net: Some readers may not know what this is. When women wash their bras, they feel a need to put it in a net, similar to a fish trawling net, but much smaller. I don't think we'll ever understand why. They don't look or taste like lobsters. I think it has something to do with those little clips, the very clips men eagerly try to work just before sex. It is these clips that ALWAYS get hooked on the net and take hours to detach. The few times I've forgotten to net the bras, they have never hooked on anything, appear completely fine, have saved me laundry loads of time, and are just as comfortable to wear.

• The mattress sheet: This is the sheet that goes directly over the mattress. You're suppose to fold these things, so I'm told. Why? And how? Is far as I can tell, if I put the sheet in a blender and removed it, the result would match folding it according to current methodology. To fold correctly, please contact packaging company, or Stephen Hawking.

• Finding the car hood latch: I've spent many hours trying to find the latch for the front hood on our Nissan Versa. Usually in the winter, during a polar vortex, the new term for cold air. Nissan, it seems, tries to differentiate itself by doing the opposite of Honda and putting simple things in just the perfectly wrong place. They had thousands of test dummies try to find the latch and as soon as all of them failed in the task, they released the car to the world. We now have a Honda.

This is an interactive post. Perhaps you can think of things science, and the great Stephen Hawking, will never explain.
