        Why are you personally offended if someone doesn't think exactly like you? Don't you believe, if there's a God, he would like you to respect the freedom of choice of others? @sapinker doesn't force you to read his writings.

        Take it easy. I respect Mr.Steven and admire most of his thoughts.Meanwhile, Iam just wondering about his disbeleif with all his wisdom.

        The definition of wisdom is a belief and thus subjective. It's ok to wonder why someone defines wisdom differently as long as you stay aware that you yourself are not objective either -- like all of us. Nobody is thoroughly knowing.

        Las Casas Vs. Sepulveda was a real controversy about slavery, human rights.... It took place around 1550 in Valladolid (Spain) The book by hispanist Monsieur Dumont is a treasure on those historical facts.

        Yes, but it can be tempting to see Epistemological Doubt as a cure for every political, religious & social problem. The amount of Doubt that people can live with varies, but most people can't stand that much.

        Same as the debate between Hobbes and Descartes.
