Discovering The Watchmaker
My sense of the supernatural is a personal one. I think that to have a testimony of anything at all one must rely on a sort of private gnosis. Even people who aim to be hyper logical have to base their logic on some axioms that seem fitting. That choice of axioms goes back to…
