Assigning "odds" to the Supreme Beling's decisions is, well, silly. "Non-zero" implies that there's a chance for it to happen without God's intervention. By most working definitions, that wouldn't be a genuine miracle anyway. > > > > http://www.salon.com/books/int/2006/08/07/collins/index.html > > BTW: I'm playing, er, devil's advocate here.

It's one thing to say you "have Faith" about something, and another to pose as a scientist and claim certainty about it not existing. Agnosticism is the scientific method on a philosophical level. Atheism is just another religion from a scientific perspective. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
