...and pardon the thread drift, but Donuel! Define what knowledge is. Define absolute knowledge. Aristotelian logic was the begin-all and end-all for thousands of years. Ether HAD to exist. On and on.


We cannot exist without assumptions. Every time you get behind the wheel of your car you have to assume to some degree that the other drivers are going to obey the rules of the road, that they are sane and sober and free of suicidal impulses, etc. and you know THAT ain't true and yet you drive and chat and DO NOT pay attention to every driver as though he may come across the double yellow at you. So much of life is faith and not all of it warranted.
