Eric... I do not have ANY problem with proof. I have asked here a
number of times of different individuals as to what proof they would
need? So far none has responded. Perhaps this approach would get us
closer to understanding. You see, I think it is our concept of what god
is or means that may be the problem in understanding. (BTW all the
proof I need is 65 AND 14. I will let you sort that out.)
