It most certainly will. If science tells me a metor the size of earth is
gonna hit it and knock it off couse or make it explode well.. that's
different, it's still science at work though.

Okay what I believe is that humans like reliance in the fact that work is
not without reward and that if you stay in line and do good your going to
get the reward while the guy who murders people may own an island and
millions of dollars but in the afterlife he'll suffer while your in bliss.
If I'm wrong 'God' will sure let me know about it wont he =]
