>>> Michael Smith <tipsl...@gmail.com> 21-Oct-10 8:07 AM >>> Of course all of this discussion of knowledge has very little to do with my original context which was that the "God saved them" statement is a statement of belief not an argument (despite the ensuing 'argument' which was at best tangential :-) ). JC Sorry Mike, I believed/thought/knew (or thought I knew??) that you had written in a subsequent post that "I think I would agree that the statement [i.e., "God saved them"] wouldn't count as a scientific hypothesis, but not that it couldn't count as knowledge. To say that assumes a scientific world view where the falsifiability thing is king. It is conceivable, though, that one can have true knowledge without such knowledge being falsifyable in the least." Hence my concern about your (or someone else's??) use of the term knowledge (even more so the phrase "true knowledge") to refer to an unsubstantiated belief.
