Apparently Luke did not have the advantage of all your wisdom on the subject because he though something as important as the Messiahship of Christ could be PROVED. Too bad you werent around to show him that nothing can be proved. Science is based on falsification Hank, not proof. If we can't falsify it we generally accept it, that is why they are called theories, not proofs.

And yet it certainly seems it's not always true that "if we can't falsify it we generally accept it." Jeepers, one can't falsify God or soul, but some people reject them anyway. (It really is irrational when you think about it.)
