Okay, I'll ask you again, V:
Do you agree with Davison that God has died?
Why do you seem afraid to answer this?
Don't be afraid of going off-topic. It's okay, Steve is quite forgiving about that kind of thing.

O.K. I believe you - unless you have provoked me. You do not comprehend Davison opinion on the matter. John Davison opinion is this one:
...It was a rhetorical trick on my part to claim that God or Gods are dead because that is impossible to ascertain with certainty as someone promptly reminded me. I agree.
My point WAS then, and still is NOW, that there is no need for a living God within the postulates of the Prescribed Evolutionary Hypothesis. The scientist cannot assume the existence of that which cannot be demonstrated. However he can be convinced of such a prior existence which is exactly what the PEH maintains...
I quoted these words from ISCID where everyone can find them, post June 5th 2007:

So his claim is different as you thought. He used such words only as "rhetorical trick". Consequently your question is not expressing the real John's opinion. You should formulate it differently at least.
