> I think it only matters to Christian and perhaps also Islamic

> Physicists do not do ontology - but they do provide constraints on
> ontology. Anything that is posited to exist, especially if it is posited
> as an "ultimate", must be somehow reconcilable with what is known,
> scientifically speaking, about the physical world.
> Any genuine conservation law, in the physical sense, argues against the
> need for a "creator". And rather persuasively at that.
