This is something I would like to see more often in theology: people
testing their theories/views, and saying they should be adjusted to
fit newly discovered facts of reality.
It is interesting to think of a libertarian theology. I once remarked
to a fundamentalist who intoned "... and on that day *everybody*
*will* *kneel* before the Lord!" that any being that need or want to
force others to obey it clearly isn't worth worshipping.
Maybe the true form of libertarian worship is trade?
