[Vision2020] Living in Idaho

[Tony]

Ralph, I remember an old English professor of mine saying about matters of 
faith that one cannot say that they "know" there is a God or "know" there is 
NOT a God, only that they can say that they are "inclined to believe" one 
way or another.  Both positions it seems to me rely on a measure of faith if 
one is uncomfortable relying on the Bible or any other work as the 
"infallible word" of God.  Certainly there is no direct, physical evidence 
of an overarching intelligence, just as such an entity cannot be 
definitively disproven given our limitations and the infinite nature of the 
universe.

At times it seems that those who call themselves Atheists are operating on 
as much faith as "believers."

Are you inclined to believe there is no God, or are you absolutely certain?

My best,   -T
