Matt: As I read over your responses to me, I seem to be seeing a set of rigid philosophic limits on your part that you imply I must accept,. I've read 3 books by John Leslie, 2 by Adler and one by Flew. They all have either become theists, or perhaps Leslie was one to start with, and at least Adler and Flew accept divinity on Earth among humans, represented by Joshua ben Joseph, proclaimed God's son by religion and given a new name that wasn't so Hebrew. THESE READING DO NOT SEEM TO IMPOSE UPON MY THINKING THE LIMTS YOU SAY I MUST HAVE. It appears, according to religions, God can be supernatural and natural at the same time. Where is the discrepancy in my thought patterns? I admit I have almost no background in one of your chosen fields, philosophy, but frankly, what you write does not make sense to me. Adler uses as his acceptable proof of God, 'beyond a reasonable doubt'. Of course there is a leap of faith at that point, and I am willing to take, and I have taken that leap to faith and belief. Apparently you can't 'leap' and I view that as due to your limits that you place on yourself. Adler and Flew don't seem to think those 'Matt limits' are valid. I find many of my ideas quite close to Frank as he is revealing them.
