This whole rant started as a result of reading an
www.edge.org survey as explained below. Some of the ideas were interesting. This particular fellow just got on my last nerve for some reason. BTW, please read my introductroduction to the thread again and this will make more sense. I kind of rushed the post quite without thinking and didn't go back to edit.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IS TRUE EVEN THOUGH YOU CANNOT PROVE IT?"
