>From yesterday's BBC R4 In Our Time - on the ontological argument for god. QUOTE The Ontological Argument is quite a way down the list of subjects with which I would have thought I would get absorbed. But I did. The notion of a medieval Benedictine monk from Italy, via France, becoming Archbishop of Canterbury and sitting down to compose through logic alone a proof for the existence of God, and both proving it to the satisfaction of some people and not proving it to the satisfaction of others, was extremely seductive. ... The thing about other worlds of knowledge is that the more you examine them and the more you get to know them, the more respect you have for them. It doesn't matter very much whether they seem to be way off-key when compared with "modern" knowledge or information. UNQUOTE [Ron comments] I noticed an article that modern science is close to ruling out the existence of God. I thought, what a stupid article! What a loaded comment!
