<<<That the arguments are simply faith based is your conclusion. It's certainly a possibility. But it's incomplete, seems to me, unless you can identify just which faith is at its base. Which knee is jerking and what is the impetus? >>> I have this strange faith that someday we will develop mathematics like in set theory where we can diagram and sort these things out. You know, like there are these overlapping circles where one circle represent known truths, another representing known and provable falsehoods, and perhaps one that represent beliefs that can only be ascribed to beliefs that are based on faith. The circles would overlap and people can get a truer picture of what they are talking about. Until then, there are people who will continue to thrive on their own hubris or pure bs.
