I don't believe it!  The above implies that we *know* all the laws and
processes 'currently' operating.  This is the kind of presumptiveness
that Larry usually attributes to *science*.

Distilled to it's essence, I read the above as saying "If we don't
know how it happened, then the Deity musta done it."  Aaarrrgghhh!
