The Best Logique Evidence of God Existence

[Belacqua]

Of coure, watching Belaqua and such tie the language in knots as they seek to 'Redefine' their way out of the problem is both amusing.... and painful.

Cheers.

This is how it looks to you, since you don't know the history.

Plotinus and others made sincere efforts to understand who the world works. You have a different view, so it looks to you as if they are twisting things in order to accommodate a pre-determined solution. But this is unfair to them. 

In fact many of what you call "redefinitions" came early on, and seem strange to you because you have settled on later answers. 

The later answers may well be better, but that doesn't mean you can project insincere motivations onto long dead people.
