You make some very persuasive arguments.Nonetheless,your "logical positivisim" can trap you into complete skepticism where you could end up believing nothing without empirical evidence.For example,can you prove that Moses existed? What proof do you have of his existence other than hearsay evidence? Can you prove that 2 plus 2 equals 4 in a planet outside the galaxy,or do you just assume apriori that the principle of arithmatic is the same everywhere in the universe?

The same cannot be said unfortunately for your comments, which I will leave to the judgement of anyone reading them.

They are, btw, quite off topic. Have a nice weekend.
