Hi wavydog,

I don't presume believers are fools. But I don't understand it all the same. For me, it is one of those questions you cannot hope to answer. I lean against it. I understand someone leaning towards it. I don't get faith and revelation.

I haven't read Newton on religion although I understand he was an Arian and if I am to pick sides in Roman theology, I prefer Arius. Homoiousion rather than homoousion. Indeed, if his theology had been adopted, I think we'd have been way better off.

C flower, just wanted you to know that I love to have these kind of conversations and if I sound angry it's only that email thing that happens. I think that people who would consider arrogant anyone who would wish to understand the world through science would be the same sort of fool who would wish to silence Galileo. You will notice that both sets of fools are operating on their own. I would also hope that because one believes in God he or she is not automatically assumed a fool. You would have to throw a lot of great scientists in that basket. Have you ever read any of Newton's bible commentaries?
