jar writes: Quite so. Science is evidence based. Perhaps a better rephrasing of the question is Does Evidence Control Belief? And should it? I have been asked many times to answer the question as to The Holy Spirit being present and/or Jesus being alive. Jar always claims that nobody has given him an answer. My esponse to that is why he seems dense and confused enough to nver come up with his own answer, apart from vetoing traditional beliefs in the name of evidence based science. Reality controls science. I certainly found my own answers, but will never be able to explain my own mind to anyone else.

Good point. ringo himself has mentioned being quite far to the left ideologically. Marxism is an outdated concept. (some of us think communism is also, seeing as how it failed after the Cold War. The only folks left who embraced it lived in nations too poor to ever embrace Capitalism.) As for Jesus and the Book of Acts, I see it as a story in the context of those times. No humans worth their salt would ever lay everything at the feet of Government.(Todays Apostles) Nor would they lay it at the feet of some televangelist!
 Which begs the question as to Whom we are called to give it all up for and whose feet we should lay our stuff under.
