Rob, I've appreciated your work for many a moon. You've got a good eye and a wicked insight into human nature. That being said, I still have to disagree with you here.
IMO, there's fact, and there's belief. The two are not the same, still IMO, except perhaps the fact that someone believes something at such-and-such a time.
If you choose to state that your beliefs are rational, fair enough. No worries, that's your choice. I agree wholeheartedly that "we will die without fully understanding all" even were we to become functionally immortal tomorrow. However, this does not (STILL in my opinion) mean that belief meets the category of truth - except if you're lucky. *wry grin*
Sorry if that's offensive, not my intent. Simply a statement of personal belief that is not the same as yours.
