As just as staunch an atheist, I think you're rather missing the point.
Well if you read my post, I did say I wouldn't mind an empirical explanation, not that it demanded one. I'm fine with it being a muysterious energy field, I enjoyed that for 22 years, and I'd be fine with a complete empirical explanation for the Force, too. I wasn't missing any point, I was saying I don't mind it being demystified the way that many do.
