- Actually, several of the posters in that thread have invited moving the
- discussion to other groups - (sci.philosophy.meta, for example). However
- the thread originated in sci.math as a question about what can be proved
- mathematically. I think the concensus is that a correct mathematical proof
- of God is unlikely, certainly bound to be controversial, and not terribly
- convincing to theologians, although perhaps of some interest.
-
- Maybe there should be an entry in the FAQ, since I suspect this one will
- come up again, and being the FAQ seems to be a more effective way of
- controlling the subjects in the group.
