(Or, to make our point plainer, we might put the question in an even more artificial manner: "Do you believe that the religious hypothesis is a plausible one?")

The question will seem just as odd as to ask him whether he believes in his own name.</i>tinythinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137637122776756669noreply@blogger.com
