I think I have made an excellent (funny and wise) introduction to my blog-post there:
https://flatassembler.github.io/let_it_rip.html wrote:Richard Dawkins once said something like: "But when has theology ever said something that's of slightest use to anybody? When has theology said something that's demonstrably true and is not completely obvious? Science has found cures and vaccinations for all kinds of diseases, and theology in all that time has done nothing but talk about pestilences as a consequence of sin.". Let's ask ourselves, do we today have a "science" that is talking about pestilences as a consequence of sin? To me it seems like we do, that it is the mainstream epidemiology. It is talking about the pestilence of COVID-19 as consequence of sin of letting our economy keep running instead of stopping it with lockdowns.
