Universal Ignorance

Here’s a small item that fascinated me.
While reading through James Taranto’s daily Wall Street Journal blog I came across this snide comment:
"Apparently, there are many, many universes," goofball general Wesley Clark told an Angry Left convention in Las Vegas recently, according to The Weekly Standard. "And we're in this one."
We're not sure which universe Clark is in, but the guys at TruthOut ("That's where we keep it") live in an alternate universe in which Karl Rove is under indictment in connection with the Valerie Plame kerfuffle.
Now, I read this blog more than most precisely because the guy has a good nose for sniffing out politically correct B.S. and all that- but this cosmic blow off shows that almost everyone is afflicted with a personal voodoo that will sooner or later serve as an intellectual blinder.
I’m no fan of Wesley Clark but what he’s talking about has validity. The best science is leading in the direction of multiple universes that exist within a framework of 11 dimensions.
Check out this article link- then come back.
A theory is just that… but some very smart people are telling us that the math and physics is leading them in this direction whether they personally like it or not.
Sure, it’s a wild, mind-blowing concept. But is it really any stranger than the idea that somebody was nailed to a cross in order to give us the choice to believe in him, and thereby save our souls? As bizarre theories go, the major religions can’t be beat.
You can make your own choice in these matters, but the arrogance displayed in the type of smug attack in Taranto’s blog is just galling.
To me anyways-
BTW:
If Jesus knew everything, why didn’t he tell people that the world was round and was orbiting a typical star in a vast galaxy? It was just as true then as it is now. Surely he would know… right?
