[MD] God is dead.

[Peter Corteen]

Hi Ian,

I'll bet you will reach for a dictionary like any of us when you see a new
word and want to know what it signifies or do you just make a guess from
context   (which is what babies must do at first.)?

Also, like Marsha, I wouldn't equate nature with "God" who is necessarily
supernatural.

Regards

Peter
