(Orig. posted 5/28/09) An eloquent argument for deism, aka the Aristotlian "Prime Mover" train of thought.

"Nature is what we know. We do not know the gods of religions. And nature is not kind, or merciful, or loving.

If god made me--the fabled god of the three qualities of which I spoke: kindness, mercy, love--he also made the fish I catch and eat. And where do his love, kindness and mercy for these fish come in?

No, nature made us. Nature did it all. Not the gods of the religions." -Thomas Alba Edison

Well said, sir. In my book, more than your innovations with electric light qualify you for being remembered as "Wizard of Menlo Park."
