Given the history of science disproving its own dogma over time, the
arrogance of scientists as they leap from hypothesis to fact with little
empirical basis would be amusing if it was not so ignorant of the relatively
recent past.
And do not tell me a loving God would not place evidence to mislead our puny
intellects. That is the pinnacle of arrogance, grossly overestimating the
depth of our perception and reasoning ability.
