But 500 years is a long time, especially when you have to put up with tithes, inquisitions, dispensations and fealties. Kant declared that man was incapable of knowing anything about God period. Considering that this was advanced as an argument in favor of believing in God, it's quite goofy. With equal merit I could convince you to believe in Martians, because they are invisible. A. God is beyond reason.
Faith is beyond reason.
Those who believe in Him shall not perish. Some of them actually go so far as to predict the color of carpets in Heaven. This obviously has nothing to do with knowledge, and even less with wisdom. A belief is an arbitrary notion held in the absence of knowledge or in disregard of the available evidence. The next time someone proposes to prove to you that the world was created exactly 4000 years ago, and God created fossils to keep us in awe of his magic, I hope you have the presence of mind to point out that the purpose of philosophy is to guide one's actions here on earth.
