You will never ever get FACTS from the scientific community because we cannot even prove our own existence. Kick a rock. Was the rock really there? Was your foot really there? That intense pain you're feeling ... real or illusory? Prove your answers.

Thus I believe (and state my belief here that) your insistence on FACTS is disingenuous. I'd be all ears if you could show me a single incontrovertible FACT about the nature of an extramundane higher power ... God, if you will.

Ceterum censeo Carl Sagan is not promoting a belief structure. Up to his dying day he maintained that anyone was free to prove him wrong on the mudhole theory and the rest of it. I'd like to see Jerry Falwell show the same open-mindedness.
