Why is this important?

• What is the connection between kooks and Christianity? Why do they seem to appear together? Is it because they both have faith, (Huck Finn),“believing what you know ain't so”? Can faith overcome fact? What is the relationship of Truth with Faith and Fact?

• This turns out to be a very old problem. It started in the Garden, and though solved by Christ himself, has resurfaced in the Church every few centuries in a major crisis of faith. This is the crisis we face in science today, in the 21st century, as a major crisis of fact. It's the question of truth—how do we find it, how do we keep it, how do we use it.
