Subject: RE: BS: Onward Christian Soldiers
As I've said a million times, or twenty, or eight anyway, I have no proof of anything. I don't WANT to prove anything. I LIKE not being able, or wanting, to prove anything. Accumulating evidence to which one applies reason does not permit proof. That's how we make progress. Once you've proved something, that's the end of the quest. That isn't how I operate and it isn't how science operates. If pete has proof, well I'd certainly take a look. But I don't want the quest to end. The beauty of life is that we can always keep looking, stay curious and use our brains. Once we believe that God did everything, the quest has ended. The brain is no longer needed. It was probably never used enough in the first place. Actually, God would be quite cross about that.
