As I have always said, you are either a Spinozist or not a philosopher at all.

Ah, people have heard of him, if only because Einstein gave him that shout-out that time. That alone must mean several hundred thousand tippers have at least read the name.
The problem is if you do away with anthropomorphism you do really do away with all the really most important attributes of of God at least in the Abrahamic religions.
And this is why Spinoza was, I think, rightly considered an atheist in his life time and afterward, as of cause was David Hume, the "Great Infidel".

"The Pagans"? There are a lot of fucking pagans. who is "they"? What 'described' the big bang in any way that isn't a frivolous connection like "there was nothing then there's something"? What do you mean they 'knew' it? They no doubt guessed a few things right, but they had no conceivable way to "know" about the big bang.
