Well, I certainly don’t think Jehovah created the universe. On the other hand, this thread is devoted to the consideration of the proposition that 2 + 2 = 3 -- arguably a settled question—with the understanding that “a belief is only really worthwhile if you could, in principle, be persuaded to believe otherwise.” I don’t know if Xaway is going to be participating any more (hi, Xaway, if you’re reading this!), but I was hoping that this might be a good exercise in practicing rational discussion. In part, I thought we could win him over to the dark side (joking about it being the dark side.)
