Matthew And Luke Handle The Problem Differently,

Faith Is The Great Cop-out, The Great Excuse To Evade The Need To Think.

Faith Rests Squarely Upon Reason, But With The Added Component Of Revelation.

In Other Words Luke's Story Is Historically Impossible And Internally Inconsistent. He Lied To Fudge The Fulfillment Of Micah's Prophesy And To Provide A Villain To Play Off Jesus In His Fictitious Drama. Matter Flows From Place To Place And Momentarily Comes Together To Be You. Some People Find That Thought Disturbing. I Find The Reality Thrilling.

If Ever There Was A Slamming Of The Door In The Face Of Constructive Investigation, It Is The Word Miracle. To A Medieval Peasant, A Radio Would Have Seemed Like A Miracle.

I Am Against Religion Because It Teaches Us To Be Satisfied With Not Understanding The World.
