> George: It is also time that the other tired old argument that "nothing can come from nothing" was retired. Whole books have been written on the physical, metaphysical and philosophical question of "nothing" that clearly show the concept of something from nothing is perfectly respectable. I've argued this here previously but the mantra is still repeated.-I can quote philosophers who disagree with your point.

> George:The whole idea of theists beginning by accepting on faith the concept of their God and then trying to fit the facts to their preconception is a fundamentally flawed procedure.-I went the other way 'round. An agnostic who studied science and chose the idea there had to be a greater power.
