But what if the world really isn't that way, Coyoteman?

And what if divine revelation isn't the highest form of knowledge?

Thanks, I'll stick to what can be observed in some way and leave to you metaphysics and religion and other intangibles.

ps. I think Jack London, quoted upthread, may have a point, eh?

IMHO, FWIW: On the basis of the evidence you present, Jack London is clearly suffering from an extreme case of nosos. Which is to say he has no point that a rational (i.e., sane) person needs to consider at all. It is all "sound and fury, signifying Nothing."

Scripture has been emphatically true about

—tangible mundane reality that I observe

—other individuals

—other groups

—the man in my mirror.

No other source or collection of inputs comes close to such accuracy in my 61 years.
