I strongly disagree; traditional religious belief of the sort that
Roberto and I are defending (and which Ron understands, and to which he
doesn't condescend, even though he's a self proclaimed atheist) makes
factual assertions. Either we're right and our atheist opponents err,
or they are and we err. [I have no use for the post-modern idiocy of
requiring irony quotes around any use of the word 'fact'.]

Circular reasoning; believers maintain that the Creator made the laws
of physics and certainly isn't bound by them.
