    Try Logic

    The universe and all creation seem miraculous to me, but I have reservations: I have eliminated from my dialogues all analogies, similies, metaphors, and parables as logical fallacies. I eliminate the words Belief and Faith as circular reasoning. That is, the subject and the predicate are the same. (I believe in a thing because I believe it.) I will however accept a falsifiable proposition. By falsifiable is meant a statement or hypothesis capable of being proven false by testing. This is to be distinguished from verifiability or verification. If I say I think all swans are white my statement is a logical theory because it can be tested as false by finding a black swan even if I never see one. This I recognize to be an unfair challenge to religion, since it is testable, which means falsifiable, not verifiable. Now what say you about what you believe to be true.
