do not inquire after their gods

Read through this before we talk. Go on, I'll wait.

Will try to be respectful of the recently passed, but if there's any disrespect that emerges, it's more targeted to the media covering the passing and the realm in which the passer worked than in the passer himself. But this obituary is the perfect example of how they hate us, and the subtle ways they will seduce you with their biased opinions.

(1) The passing of scientists gets the coverage that the passing of the religious do not. Billy Graham better get ten times this coverage.
(2) First sentence tells you the man "figured out" how the sun and other stars generate energy. Really? He figured it all out? He can really prove that it works, like creating his own star? He's figured out squat; he's figured out how to make it seem like he's figured something out; he's figured out how to persuade you with words.
(3) His work was referred to as a Bible by his peers.
(4) I love this sentence: "At his zenith, there seemed to be few well-defined conundrums of the cosmos that Bethe couldn't master." Try resurrection; try the solution for eternal life. No, seriously. Try it.
(5) He says of science that it can "prove something is true or something is false." Some things, yes. But he like his peers believe "some" to be "all" to make themselves like gods.
(6) "It is the most wonderful feeling when you come to a real answer. This is it, and this is correct! In science, you know you know." What you don't know, and what your peers don't know is that you have one hell of a surprise waiting for you on JDay. Literally.
