So? If reason doesn’t work how can you have a “so”, how can you use reason to reach a conclusion about reason, or a conclusion about anything else? * > when applying a theory, we need some faith.* A tentative scientific hypothesis has as much to do with faith as an amorphous grey vague blog has to do with God. You like the word “faith” because you know your opponents don’t like it, and you like the sound of the word “God” even though you don’t believe in the concept the word symbolizes. And none of the ignorant Greeks who have been dead for thousands of years and would flunk a forth grade science test can change that fact.
