I sent the article about the origins of the cosmos, which I posted to the Ink Desk earlier today, to an atheist friend of mine in England. His response was good and enlightening. I was particularly touched by this paragraph, full of the humility that is sadly lacking from so many advocates of scientism:  

We don’t really know all that much. Our physics is known to be seriously incomplete. The theory of the Very Large (General Relativity) conflicts in serious respects with the theory of the Very Small (Quantum Physics), so one or both are definitely incorrect (this is not controversial). Also both Theories end up with 96% of the mass/energy in the Universe comprised of Unknown Stuff (“Dark Matter” and “Dark Energy”). A body of physical theory that can only explain 4% of the Universe and even then contradicts itself is no basis for hubristic bragging….
