I see evidence of a universe that we are most certainly not the center of. I see evidence of all kinds of things but none of these things preclude some sort of God. God could have started the process of the big bang. God could have started evolution. To believe for sure either way is a matter of faith, sure. > They "hit" me for this (I posted all of this early on, btw) because they > said this was a logical contradiction.

I believe faith without evidence IS irrational - its faith because its based on something other than evidence. Proof is like FACT - a rare occurance, IMO. > H.
