SA: Steve, this has been a very interesting. Your
distinctions on these issues are very good. The
clarity and presentation has been outstanding! I'd
have to agree with you on this. Faith is a rejection
of evidence and logical cohesion. I've been learning
quite a bit by what you've been saying. Bravo!
