Nexus of Thought: Amazing Wimbledon Final

Amazing Wimbledon Final

It will probably go down as one of the greatest Wimbledon finals of all time (maybe just a notch behind 2008 and 1980) and that is not by any means an overstatement of yesterday's edition of the Gentleman's End Game. As a Roger Federer fan I was saddened to see the Swiss maestro go down to the power punches of Novak Djokovic but if he had to lose to anybody the Serb would be my pick. Overall the match was a tremendous endorsement of the high quality of play that exists at the upper echelon of the ATP tour.

My beliefs

I believe ….

1.That there is a God who transcends space and time. (I call it God for want of a name although I personally prefer the Kabbalistic term Ein Sof).

2. That it is impossible to know the nature of God. It cannot be truly defined.

3. That the universe operates according to the Laws of Physics. Life evolved through a combination of natural selection, genetic drift and other selection pressures acting on a genome whose variation arose as a consequence of mutation.

4. That God can intervene but such intervention is undetectable and does not contravene the laws of physics. God is a subtle actor who presents no evidence of understandable design.

5. That an agnostic position on a personal God makes sense.

6. That revealed religion are merely man made attempts at trying to understand God and although some carry the wisdom of earlier thought they are all inherently flawed.

7. That humans need to develop their own moral code based on reason, logic and the collective thinking of what has worked in the past.

8. That some religious customs may serve a purpose with respect to group cohesion but they need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

9. That God is a minimalist in action but not necessarily a disinterested party.

10. That the afterlife is unknowable.

11. That skepticism and the scientific method are the best tools we have in understanding the world.
