    | This is simply a test in using a computer to communicate with the
    | ASA discussion group. It is proposed to present a simple proof of
    | the "four color theorem" in this location. The four color theorem
    | is a significant mathematical problem which is easily stated, and
    | which anyone can understand. This theorem should be of interest to
    | Christians, and in particular to logicians and to theologians and to
    | anyone who is interested in "intelligent design". A proof of this
    | theorem will also be of interest to professional mathematicians and
    | physicists.

    It's not clear to me what you want to do: present a simple proof, or
    just discuss the "Christian" merits of the theorem?
