Wrong. New discoveries are made all the time. Malkionism is
a dynamic faith, not a static one.
>What they cannot deduce, and cannot observe, is the Invisible
>(unobservable, undeduceable) God. This is a 'that which science
>cannot explain is God' type agrument.
And derisively known in talk.origins as the "God of Gaps".
This theory is flawed in that everytime something that was
previously unknown is explained, the God of Gaps has to
undergo a massive retreat to maintain his mystery. I don't
know about you, but I prefer my Malkioni to use their heads
at least once in a blue moon.
