Science can proceed only if the scientist adopts an essentially theological worldview. ..even the most atheistic scientist accepts as an act of faith the existence of a law-like order in nature that is at least in part comprehensible to us.
The universe contains vastly more order than Earth-life could ever demand. All those distant galaxies, irrelevant for our existence, seem as equally well ordered as our own.
People take it for granted that the physical world is both ordered and intelligible. The underlying order in nature - the laws of physics - are simply accepted as given, as brute facts. Nobody asks where they came from; at least not in polite company. However, even the most atheistic scientist accepts as an act of faith that the universe is not absurd, that there is a rational basis to physical existence manifested as law-like order in nature that is at least partly comprehensible to us. So science can proceed only if the scientist adopts an essentially theological worldview.
We run a 24-hour service (for passengers) and we also offer small-package delivery.
We're not jealous of the guy getting a million pound bonus. We just want out 6.70 pounds for God sakes.
You have to weigh the increased cost of electric service every month versus being without power for three weeks after a hurricane.
A universe that came from nothing in the big bang will disappear into nothing at the big crunch. Its glorious few zillion years of existence not even a memory.
When the three of us are on, we're really tough. There are not a lot of teams that can keep up with us when we play like that.
We've still got it. We've just got to get that spark plug going into March. We've done it before.
That's been our bread and butter so, honestly, we're not that worried about it. They've got to guard us too, and we've got a lot of firepower.
I don't think you can shut down all three of us. If it happens, somebody (else) has got to step up. We do have the personnel to step up and score for us.
Knowing there's a guy right there that's going to do all the dirty work and do anything he can definitely helps my game. I know it helps everyone else's, too.
He doesn't like me, and I don't like him.
Through our four-year career, we haven't had our best record against them. With the chance that this is the last time playing them, it feels pretty good going out this way.
