Most of Givens' arguments boil down to: God is mixing things up a bit so that we can "exercise faith," the assumption being that exercising faith in a correct, yet unknowable fact is a virtue. So we should stick with a belief that may not make a lot of sense to us, since God wants us to p...

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read. Even as a faith promoting story, it's missing the punchline. There is supposed to be a final line with some kind of exterior vindication of the choice of circular windows. Sometime that in hindsight proves he was right all along. How the round windows made e...
