I see your point. "SO, brees, would you rather your neurosurgeon used ignorance in operating on your brain tumor, or knowledge? Would you prefer he was uncertain, thus careful, or certain and less careful? I think this puts my point in perspective." The thing is, I always have seen your point. I would prefer an educated and experienced neurosurgeon, of course. You have never attempted to do anything but defend this point against a straw man. I challenged Solon's vast knowledge of philosophy in the area of the concept of "time." A topic he proposed. After calling me names for several posts and casting aspersions on my character instead of responding intelligently to my comments, he finally came to think about what I was saying and stated that he actually viewed the concept of time the same way I do. So, he asked for sources. Although there have been many influences on my thinking, the only actual author on the subject that I felt qualified as a source is Augustine (a well known religious scholar). So Solon immediately returned to the name calling and character assassination. A couple of posts later you chimed in. My wife has a PhD in Civil Engineering. I have gone through a PhD program in Education. If you know the rest of my life story you would never accuse me of not being inquisitive to the max. However, simply because of a difference in belief centers, I have to continue reading all these name calling and character slamming posts that do not identify me at all and about how much stupider I am than you two guys. Rather transparent don't you think? What is really bothering you?
