Congratulations, indeed, to both Frank Wilczek and Heather Templeton Dill. Perhaps the next step in remythologizing God and belief with universals and constants is to see continuity, symmetry and harmony, three of the staples of Wilczek's insights, and declare here is the bridge between the finite and infinite whereby the finite is quantitative (numerical, discrete, etc) and the infinite is the qualitative. The agnostics and atheists can relax a little. Lifting up continuity, symmetry and harmony is not quite so imposing as religious beliefs and it's a bridge!

Mother Teresa? Who intentionally made patients to suffer. Who despite of owning millions of dollars refused to buy sterile needles and gloves? What a shame!

Why doesn’t god just tell us what is going on?Is he a sociopath or doesn’t he exist?Probably the latter.
