Why not?

I did not see an author's post for our group, so I will take the helm for us. On Wednesday, Jacob gave his presentation on The Existence of God. He did not make it far before the whole class was involved. It became a rather heated conversation focusing on (or near to) Jacob's subject matter. I rather enjoyed it, as I think most of us did aside from Jacob. While I do not agree with Jacob on some of points or arguments, I thought it was admirable to stand up in front of everyone and speak about faith, especially given the nature of this course. I could summarize what Jacob's presentation was about, but that would be a little redundant since he posted his paper portion of the presentation on the blog.



This has nothing to do with anything we have discussed in class, but Oliver said we could post a joke. I love this one.
