>From yesterday's BBC R4 In Our Time - on the ontological argument for god.

QUOTE
The Ontological Argument is quite a way down the list of subjects with
which I would have thought I would get absorbed. But I did. The notion
of a medieval Benedictine monk from Italy, via France, becoming
Archbishop of Canterbury and sitting down to compose through logic
alone a proof for the existence of God, and both proving it to the
satisfaction of some people and not proving it to the satisfaction of
others, was extremely seductive. ...

The thing about other worlds of knowledge is that the more you examine
them and the more you get to know them, the more respect you have for
them. It doesn't matter very much whether they seem to be way off-key
when compared with "modern" knowledge or information.
