I don't "believe" anything Tack. I defer to what we can observe, demonstrate, and (in theory) falsify. This is the beginning of a dialogue. If you can't provide anything in support of your claims than who is stalling the dialogue? Is it impossible for you to have a conversation about this unless one simply accepts all of your assumptions at face value? You make claims, and then when asked to substantiate them you state that this is an attempt to obfuscate or derail a thread? I agree, by you, because you seem to have nothing to provide as evidence. The notion that these things, as described by religious tradition, are relics of superstition isn't my position, it's the position of demonstrable evidence. Why on earth would I accept your opinions over demonstrable evidence? Again, if I'm going to allow opinions to occupy the same realm as demonstrable evidence, why should they be your opinions as opposed to Salty's (or anyone else of any faith dead or alive)?
