People doubt the existence of ‘God’. Of a directing, possibly benignly controlling, force, acting upon the entire universe. To keep it… errr… universal. And big. In fact so big that we can’t get our heads around it. And historically any concepts beyond mere man, like the universe, like ‘infinity’, like ‘well; what’s at the end of the universe, when you get there?’, things like life on our planet and its (sometimes) perfection, all those inexplicables just fell neatly into the ‘God dunnit’ category. Then you don’t have to think about them any more. ‘Beyond human capabilities’ to even ponder such things. Of course, as human understanding expanded, with great resistance from religion, historically and currently, so the ‘domain’ of ‘wot God done’ became reduced. We (well, not me, but some boffins in Cambridge, Harvard) understand ‘the infinite’. We now know, or think we do, what’s end of the universe (not telling). And we accept evolution and possibly even the Big Bang, or at least its possibility as an explanation. And we know that the world revolves around the Sun, even though Copernicus was arrested for heresy for saying so. And we know the world is not flat. So all God really has to do nowadays is death and the afterlife. Mainly because science can’t get there to experiment. What else do we need a God for explanation?

Football results, that’s what.

Because if ever you needed proof of God, look no further than these midweek results. You’ll be on your knees/prayer-mat/temple before you can say ‘Bournemouth 4, Chelsea 0’.

Spurs won last night. 1-0 down, at home to Watford, up until the 80th minute. And then we scored an equaliser. And just 7 minutes later, Llorente hit the winner. And if anyone ever needed divine guidance and assistance it is Llorente. But we know that Spurs are God’s team, that’s a given. However, the extent of His power manifest itself in the other results too.

Liverpool failed to beat Leicester at home. Manchester City lost at Newcastle and then Chelsea went down massively at Bournemouth. That’s the top four and only one winner. If we extend the list to the top 6, then Arsenal did win. But Manchester United only drew.

West Ham lost too. Which isn’t very significant other than me and God fucking hate West Ham.

Happy Spiritual Thursday
