I belive that the Readers' Forum was the best part of the July EXPLORER. We have some brilliant members, and when they want to share some of their brilliance we are all rewarded.

The letter The Dawn of Creation" was outstanding, regardless of your religious convictions. I have to disagree with the statement that "Faith is a belief in something the person knows is false." Faith is something you accept without proof of the truth or falsity of the belief.
