Dear Santosh, Fr. Ivo, et al I have been following your discussions with some interest. They date back to the days of 18th century enlightenment in Europe! And they are still going on because it is difficult to reconcile human interests? Were the ardent defenders of enlightenment necessarily atheists? I believe not. They only wanted to separate matters, and did not want Churchy reasoning to seek to continue its medieval power to have a last word in matters where the Church men (with the exception of some rebels like Abelardo, Ockam, and the like) had ceased to accompany the scientific-technological progress.

Why am I responding to these posts by religious folk expressing their private personal beliefs in a secular public forum? The reason is two-fold: http://tinyurl.com/234rql http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/1503/teo_publ.pdf
