Currently reading Debi Pearl's Created to Be His Help Meet, when I came across her citing an unfortunate statistic about the prevalence of divorce among Christians: "It is a shameful matter of statistics that the fundamentalist Christian home is not as enduring as the general population's."
11 year old genius is out to prove that God is real. Love it!

“Stephen Hawking, for example, is, er….was one of the firm believers that God is not real.”
Fixed it for them.
That, and Hawking was a hoaxster who manipulated us with pity. Chose a fake British accent to make himself sound more erudite. Famously claimed to be a genius and never refuted anyone who labeled him either a super genius or the world's smartest man, but he also just as famously refused to engage in standardized testing to determine his actual IQ.
I like the kid's logic, especially because it starts with the absolute necessity that Something had to have created whatever the Universe started out as.
Physics is heavily based on empiricism. It will be brutally hard since he must use experiment to prove God's existence. Other methods are more likely to be fruitful.
For example, Austrian School in economics uses praxeology to find economics laws. It starts with axiom "Man acts" and uses pure logic to build conclusions.
Tube steak?
And, if any one can take me seriously after the previous post, the following is a very interesting and even somewhat hopeful take on what's happening all around us:
The Real Revolution Is Underway But Nobody Recognizes It
January 12, 2022
Revolutions have a funny characteristic: they're unpredictable.
The general assumption is that revolutions are political. The revolution some foresee in the U.S. is the classic armed insurrection, or a coup or the fragmentation of the nation as states or regions declare their independence from the federal government.
By focusing on the compelling drama of political upheaval we're missing the real revolution, which is social and economic: the Great Resignation, a global movement which in the U.S. has largely unrecognized American characteristics.
The Great Resignation is the real revolution which few if any recognize. The status quo is going to great lengths to dismiss it, for example, The Great Resignation: Historical Data and a Deeper Analysis Show It’s Not as Great as Screaming Headlines Suggest, because this revolution is not controllable with force and is therefore unstoppable.
The sources of the revolution are in plain sight: [remainder at: https://www.oftwominds.com/blogjan22/real-revolution1-22.html]

BREAKING: Jordan Peterson resigns from full professorship position at U of Toronto
Peterson says his white male students are likely going to be unable to find work in their fields despite being highly qualified.

Dr. Jordan Peterson has resigned from his tenured post at the University of Toronto. The reason for the resignation is that "the appalling ideology of diversity, inclusion is demolishing education and business."
In an essay in the National Post, Peterson details his reasons. He said that he "loved" his job, and had a good rapport with students. While he states that he "can now teach many more people and with less interference online," additional reasons include:
His white male students are likely going to be unable to find work in their fields, despite being highly qualified which Peterson wrote is "partly because of Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity mandates." Peterson, who calls this "DIE" as opposed to the DEI that is commonly seen, said that these dictates, as well as the fact that he is an "academic persona non grata" make it difficult to try and education students while knowing "their employment prospects to be minimal".
Peterson believes that these "DIE" initiatives will create "a generation of researchers utterly unqualified for the job. And we’ve seen what that means already in the horrible grievance studies “disciplines.” That, combined with the death of objective testing, has compromised the universities so badly that it can hardly be overstated. And what happens in the universities eventually colours everything."
DIE initiatives, he writes, lead to students and researchers alike lying to get grants. "All my craven colleagues must craft DIE statements to obtain a research grant. They all lie (excepting the minority of true believers) and they teach their students to do the same. And they do it constantly, with various rationalizations and justifications, further corrupting what is already a stunningly corrupt enterprise," he writes.
He takes aim at Canadian academic regulations, gender ideology legislation, and the identitarian ethos as a whole.
"We are now at the point where race, ethnicity, 'gender,' or sexual preference is first, accepted as the fundamental characteristic defining each person (just as the radical leftists were hoping) and second, is now treated as the most important qualification for study, research and employment," he writes.
"Need I point out that this is insane?"
"And it’s not just the universities. And the professional colleges. And Hollywood. And the corporate world," he goes on to say in the National Post.
He calls out colleagues who tolerate this, and anyone else who goes along with these "insane" dictates to get along. For Peterson's part, he'll have no more of it.
