Faith or Not, You Have to Leap

Steve Martin has made a bundle of movies. Of those I've seen, three stand out: the revealing view of superficial society in LA Story, the sensitive modernized version of Cyrano de Bergerac in Roxanne, and the naked take on fake religion suddenly becoming real in Leap of Faith. This is about the last one, right now my favorite – although maybe because I just saw it anew.


The essay has been moved to my personal website:

    "science doesn't really tackle the mystery.....because its tools are the wrong ones" - Well said! So many self-professed intellectuals limit their minds and personal growth by rejecting anything that doesn't come by the five senses. They boast about how logical they're being, but logic itself cannot be reduced to empiricism, neither can the origin of logic be explained empirically.

    Tämä johtuu siitä tiede ei oikeastaan ​​käsitellä mysteeri. Se käsittelee muun näkökulmia, koska sen työkalut ovat väärässä niitä käsitellä uskon, taikuutta, ja hengellisten asioiden

    For those who wonder, Casino's comment above is in Finnish. Google translates it to:

    "This is because science has not really dealt with the mystery. It deals with other points of view, because the tools are wrong to treat religion, magic, and spiritual issues."

    So, it seems to be a translation of part of my blog text. But the sender is a web casino, so I shouldn't feel to flattered. Mammon is talking...
