Not bad. I especially like the "you were born here" part. That's a cool chart, or graph, or whatever the term is to describe it. Diagram. |

The problem with any theism, there is nothing physically tangible to study or quantify. The only thing a theologian can study is at best secondary sources and hearsay. |

And yet, theology is a university major. There are many a theologian that do not just have degrees in the subject, but have DOCTORATES. |

And it made sense prior to the scientific age where empirical proof is required rather than philosophical proof for valid theories. |

Doctors of philosophy which means they study the Christian God and today, one can be an atheist and still be a theologian. However, no secular university offers theology or divinity degrees. Even so, it’s a complex subject and worthy of study, if only as a place holder due to the ubiquity the belief in God in Western history, it’s just not provable just like our existential predicament can be studied, but not proven. |
