Yes, that will do just fine. I was simply wondering if you were serious or if I might waste my time speaking to you, and you have proved that not only are you serious but willing as well. Willing to change to conform to the evidence- willing to even consider new evidence.
Appreciate the answer. Finally.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
