The same can be said of a number of philosophic systems. But each of these has met with enough criticism that sustained assent to religion and a particular philosophical system usually requires a leap of faith of some sort.<BR/><BR/>As regards science, my understanding is that since about 1915 (Einstein & co) we have been at the most precarious state of general knowledge about everything. Einstein overthrew the last scientific system that conceived itself to have major answers and nothing has come to explain discordant information that new theories have teased out. In physics, the search is on for a generalized theory.<BR/><BR/>I would argue that, yes, even thinking of the possibility means it might be likely.<BR/><BR/>Don't understand your last question. (After this I will really, really get back to work, so don't expect a quick reply.)Cecilio Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283375962527765787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18171692.post-67951104216998428582007-08-31T13:59:00.000-04:002007-08-31T13:59:00.000-04:00Hmm well science, philosophy and religion claim th...Hmm well science, philosophy and religion claim that there is a generalized theory of everything, although they use different terms for it, I suppose. Maybe questioning it means it exists? How does this logic apply to other elements?<BR/><BR/>Julie<BR/><A HREF="http://theartfulflower.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Ravin' Picture Maven</A>Julie Pipperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169574697104642479noreply@blogger.com
