I have simply shown that the Cardinal seems to believe
in a God who is NOT a fact in the world nor an idea
nor a hypothesis that can be proved or disproved - a
God who is a mystery that cannot be conceptually
determined or pinned down, and about whom one can, as
Thomas Aquinas did, only have imperfect knowledge, not
absolute certainty.

Is God categorically "NOT a fact in the world" and
"not an idea or a hypothesis that can be proved or
disproved" with "absolute certainty" all at the same
time?

Sounds to me like HE may just as well BE a fact in the
world, as NOT.

My question is, why are some in such a hurry to claim
they categorically KNOW the answer to something they
admit cannot be proved or disproved, with absolute
certainty?

Based on my scientific calculations, it won't be long
before we'll all know the answer with absolute
certainty:-))
