I don't find this so much a science problem, Q, as a semantic one. It seems to me that that theists too readily borrow the language of reality (i.e. 'meaning') and shoehorn it into a conceptual superstructure they call 'theology', whose language sounds like it is describing things that are real, but which in fact have no substantive base. I recall a conversation you and I had last year about this, but, for the life of me, I can't recall the specifics! I blame Decius and his goddamn Italian wine! :)
