It's really same point that Judah is making. If you believe in a supernatural God - one that can, say, turn water into wine - then there's never going to be any logical proof that such an entity exists. If that's the case then one must be *solely* of faith and not look to creationism or other goofiness to explain things. Thus if you're looking for verification then you must not have faith, since if you did you'd know that your search for verification was in direct conflict with the whole concept of faith. Thus anyone looking for the verification of a supernatural God is a walking hypocrite - a faithless faithful. Their words say "faithful", but their actions say faithless. And if they're faithless they should just dump the God pretension and be an honest atheist. Bottom line: if you're looking for verification of God, you do not - and will not - ever have faith. So you're just fooling yourself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
