Not at all. In fact, it's precisely that binary opposition which I've 
been challenging: i.e. the "science is truth and light and all must 
kneel at its altar" vs "belief in god/s is primitive and idiotic and 
believers are intellectually inferior" argument. It's about as 
monstrous a sermon, and as far removed from the schema of Pynchon's 
work, as could possibly be imagined.
