Sir,– Your Editorial (February 6th) is welcome. I applaud its sentiments, but I have difficulties. You wish contributions to have "some reasonable approximation to an arguable truth". Reasonable? Arguable? Truth? Even Christ didn't claim these attributes for the gift of Faith. Like many others, I challenge the rationality of the premises of various "Faiths."
To suggest that such premises deserve equal treatment with scientific observations is to go along with arguments such as: “creationism” is a theory deserving of equal time in science class with that other “theory,” evolution. Logical thinking is hard to teach under such circumstances. – Yours, etc,
