    I am confused by your comment, Stuart. Speak to me about , say, Hitler. Was he

    understand what you attributing to God.

    In any consistent theory, there must
exist true but not provable statements.
(Godel's Theorem)

    You can only find the truth with logic
If you have already found the truth
without it. (G.K. Chesterton)
