"And one can start to suggest properties that beings with souls have which might be verified or disproven."
And how would one establish a that these properties do indeed establish that the being who possesses them has a soul? Would this be a falsifiable criteria? "And Mark (correct me if I'm wrong) seemed to suggesting that the Bahai writings might contain factual errors but he would still "believe in them" and it was at that point that I wondered what it could mean to believe in writings when you don't actually believe that they are factually true." It might mean that the scriptures aren't about whether there were six or seven or a dog in the cave. ;-} warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
