suppose god did not say "i bring you truth" but came disguised as a scientist 
saying, i will show you a way to seek truth. (and came in a shiny new force 
field with pretty multicolored rays shining in all directions).  would you 
try out his "way" for oh, say, 20 minutes and then give it up as a hoax?  how 
much effort would you put into trying to understand it? fifteen generations?
