That makes a lot of sense. Would explain why neither herd nor pack really fits comfortably. Genyin -- " I know the answer! The answer lies within the heart of all mankind! The answer is twelve?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Who ever said there has to be concrete evidence that something exists? don't you guys have faith?

Just because you cannot see > something with your eyes, doesn't mean its not there Different people have different standards for what they are and are not willing to accept, of course. I am of the school of thought that says that you should not believe that something exists unless there is proof that it does. It's quite true that I don't know for sure that there is no invisible unicorn in my closet, but since no one has any proof or any other kind of reason to believe that there is one, I don't embrace the notion.

Of course I have faith - I'm a nun. But I'm careful *what* I have faith in. Genyin -- " I know the answer! The answer lies within the heart of all mankind! The answer is twelve?
