      I see that the Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal
    of a lower court judgment against a statue of the
    Ten Commandments being displayed on Municipal property in
    Elkhart Indiana.
      We're in for more substantial SC challenges of Separation
    of Church and State in the future I'll wager, based on the
    fact of a recent discovery of a SPOG (scientific proof of God).
      There can be no separation of State from Science, in that
    a government cannot pass a law which is a violation of a known
    law of science. This has Common Law precedent in that passing
    such a law would manifestly jeopardize public safety.
      If the SPOG were sufficient to prove that the Ten Commandments
    were actually "laws of Science" as well as laws of Religion,
    this kind of appeal might turn out differently.
      The Supreme Court and the legal system are going to have to
    come to grips with a scientific proof of God in the near
    future. In fact, the entire theory of separation and Church and
    State may have to be reformulated. If the discovery of a SPOG
    becomes a reality, the present formulation of Separation of
    Church and State is no longer legally viable, being based as it
    were on the legal presumption that Religion is an "unprovable theory".
