So Mr Shaw the whole thing boils down to your ability to contemplate and evaluate vs that of a monk? Not very scientific is it?

"Pompous?", "Arrogant hubris"? Projecting again are we Don? Try talking without shitting on people, then we can talk.

Imagination is more important in science than it is in religion M~, it is where the breakthroughs come from. Read about Newton, or Einstein, or Hawking. Shaw's whole argument against religion is that HE can't understand it. Obviously that is the least valid and most illogical kind of argument that there is. It is the worse kind of dogma to dismiss the argument of others because you will not make the effort to understand what is being said.
