Supposition entirely and from where you proceed in order to construct the rest of the design. Knowledge 'afforded' us would in that account be more uniform, unilateral without discrepancy or the conflict of false knowledge and true knowledge as in the case of Gallileo and reveal itself to be more so, instinctive knowledge. We have in record perceived and calculated knowledge by experience, subsequently failing at times to perceive actual truths and bounding forward on faulty conjecture until, through alternate experience, truth emerged. We can't simply dismiss or disregard thousands of years of floundering on myths and notions in an attempt to establish the Harrington Theorem of deity knowledge which postulates an imparting of human knowledge by a third party source presented as the gate keeper of all knowledge. Further allowing this persuasion to continue as even remotely valid I would assume that the gate keeper is in utter bliss and ecstasy by withholding knowledge that would alleviate a great deal of death and suffering at the hands of horrid diseases. Perhaps you can initiate a petition to spare all our lives by "affording" us the knowledge of "Cures". Snap! Back to reality and the understanding that we have developed our own storehouse of knowledge through experience, discovery and experiment. Our conglomeration of knowledge is continually augmented by new experience, discovery and experiment not by the secretion of allowable ability to learn. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
