A case of pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus, temporarily named nCov-EMC, has been confirmed by the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The patient, who is now recovering and out of intensive care, is a man who has been hospitalized in Ryadh a few days ago, with symptoms of an acute respiratory syndrome. He has no significant travel history and, one week prior to disease onset, he reports having visited a farm.

Saudi health authorities reported that this case is not epidemiologically linked to the other two recent cases of SARS-like coronavirus infection, both related to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Why science cannot prove the existence of God

The demonstration of God's existence on scientific and mathematical grounds is a topic that, after captivating thinkers like Anselm and Gödel, reappears in the recent book by Bolloré and Bonnassies. However, the book makes a completely inadequate use of science and falls into the logical error common to all arguments in support of so-called "intelligent design."

The demonstration of God's existence on rational grounds is a subject tackled by intellectual giants, from Anselm of Canterbury to Gödel, including Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant. However, as is well known, these arguments are not conclusive. It is not surprising, then, that this old problem, evidently poorly posed, periodically resurfaces.
