Well, not really. But here is a good post about irreligion, or what some are describing as the "anti-theism" of the current generation of athiest writers, and their curiously uncurious attitude towards certain concepts.
The best part of that link is in the comments, by the way.
I find God in physics. Chaos is much touted as an explanation of the Universe- we are only one universe in a whole Multiverse, so to have the right laws in place to allow life to exist is 'explained' as an inevitability of an infinite array of laws and interactions, etc. The trouble with this idea is that they never think it through to a conclusion. If Chaos is the big be-all, then there is nothing to limit chaos in any way- not even chaos. In that infinitude of universes (all manifesting at the same time, whatever time means in Chaos), there would be at least one universe which coalesces into an Organism which can manipulate Chaos- in the same way that chance is supposed to have produced life from lifeless clay, with life then manipulating the material from which it came.
If God did not create the Chaos from which the Universe is posited to have been created, then God would /did be generated by, and from, the initial Chaos.
Reminds me of something we used to joke about in college. Namely, if there are an infinite number of universes out there then there ought to be at least one in which another me - fabulously wealthy, insanely intelligent and strangely generous - has decided to jump from universe to universe and give gigantic amounts of money and technology to his less advanced counterparts.
We remain convinced that this other me is simply running late, and will be here Real Soon Now.
