    Ian says
    Some forms of knowledge transcend others (MoQ's moral layers ?), but I don't
    need to believe in (or even worry about the existence of) some form of
    knowledge that is transcendental in any absolute sense.

    David said
    Who in the world asserts that knowledge and facts rest upon
    transcendental and eternal truth?

    Ian says
    No idea. Certainly not me.

    I guess it would be too much to expect an actual answer, but I'll ask again
    anyway. Who in the world asserts that knowledge and facts rest upon
    transcendental and eternal truth? Who says that? I honestly wonder who and
    what in the world you are talking about. Please, give me just ONE example of
    just ONE such assertion. (Preachers and pundits don't count.)
