These religous discussions remind me of the Heisenberg (sp?) Uncertainty Principle (allow me to paraphrase my understanding of this principle in terms of the religous discussions): God is the 'system' in which our world resides - our universe can only be described in terms of an all-encompassing system, which we refer to as god. This god cannot be explained or described within the realm of our system (universe) - One must step into the system (universe) in which god resides, to prove the existence of god. This leads to an infinite regress, for if god is accepted, in what universe does god reside and who/what does he beleive in, etc.? To summarize, it is pointless to try to prove/disprove the existence or lack of existence of god, who by definition is outside the realm of of our universe (system), by using concepts that reside within our universe (system). Think about it. Dale Henrichs tektronix!daleh
