Good point jef. I have often said, though I am sure others disagree that theism/atheism for instance is NOT a choice: it is the way one sees the universe, and nothing to do with volition. I see the sky as blue (well some of the time): I can no more deny my theism than i can gravity. Yet for many years, till I was about 27, I could NOT have made myself believe in a God. I think Gardner believes in a God, accepts this as being a faith decision, but feels he has no evidence for that belief, if that makes sense. I have his book here and will look later...
