I enjoy noticing the icons chosen by posters in this almost place. The sketch of a dove with olive branch chosen by waterfall has led to some thoughts.

A friend of mine, at Saint Thomas University, in Fredericton, NB, shared with me a concept she called "Two Winged Flying". She is a Sociologist who researches the process of aging. She used this phrase in a conversation about gender balance. Her insight pointed to the problem of male dominance grounded in diverse religious and social understandings, which she characterized as one winged flying.

Science, which is a product of flawed human intelligence (flawed in the sense that no human has ever been shown to be infallible), is quoted time and time again as being able to prove the non-existence of God, or at least the non-existence of the God as set out in the Biblical record.
