Well, I don't mean to quash any discussion. It's just that I find the exposition of scientific fact to be not much different than the quoting of scripture. People usually don't come to their beliefs from a point of pure logical reasoning, rather the use such things to bolster and defend beliefs they already hold. So while such arguments may be interesting lesson in logic and a reccounting of the various historical proofs and rebuttles, I find they seldom get to our personal "numinous" experience.

But, you see, I come at this as a way to understand other people, not as an exercise to come to truth or even verisimilitude. Our beliefs make us what we are - or so I believe anyway

Cheers, and keep on posting
