I wouldn't think of myself as being particularly religious, and I love science and scientific explanations for things. But when I get down to it, I am always pulled toward the whole prime mover thing. Nothing in sf seems impossible to me (unless the scientists tell me it's stupid science). Fantasy? yeah, less believable (with the exception of Gaiman and Pratchett, both of whom I find utterly believable, always). But the universe? Any universe? Has an ineffable quality to it that I'm not sure science will ever really fully explain.

And you know? totally ok with that. I like living in a world where we can know more and more, every day, and come up with rational, provable explanations for things, every day, and still know that there is always something else. It does sometimes annoy me that it keeps philosophers and theologians in work, but still, knowing that there will always be more to discover is part of being kinda in love with the universe.
