So how do we exactly do a gopher wood test?

Although I find this and many other things fascinating, I've had this pet theory for many years.
Nothing will ever prove that there is a God. By definition our faith in him is required, proof beyond a reasonable doubt would render faith completely unnecessary and would turn the whole equation of God & Man, faith & Love, on it's ear.
No thank you. I don't need Clinton's 6000 constitutional experts, or Gore's 30,000 scientists opinions. Like people of faith the world over, right or wrong, we are people of faith. It is what we believe because we believe it. There is a fascinating beauty to that in and of itself.
As to the gopher wood question, I think its cedar. Easy to work, and good for a short duration on the water.

Ask a gopher.

Put it in a box of dirt. See if it tries to dig a hole.

Or maybe that's the the dogwood test....
