Hmm I suppose its important know what is meant by rational. In my previous post I used the term rational as a synonym for reasonable, or making sense; terms which are very subject-dependant. Anomalocaris implied "real" rationality follows a set of external rules, making it subject-independent. However, if those external rules come from logic, then beliefs can be rational but untrue (given that a conclusion can be valid but untrue). But wyzas' response seems to suggest rationality requires truth (assuming he views things derived from god as irrational because god isn't real or true).
I know people hate semantics and definitions; but almost all conversations fail when participants are each using words differently.
