    Having been gone for a while, I missed this latest metamorphosis. It
    is probably
    a good thing to have happened.

    In "A grief observed", speaking of his own loss of faith, C. S. Lewis states
    that God will often tear down our house of cards weak faith in order to later
    build it back up more strongly.

    In any consistent theory, there must
    exist true but not provable statements.
    (Godel's Theorem)

    You can only find the truth with logic
    If you have already found the truth
    without it. (G.K. Chesterton)
