Polyester Pants and the Covid-19 Vaccine

How do we know what we know?

Let me introduce you to Paul. When I was younger, Paul once told me:

“Listen, if you can’t believe the Bible about the Creation, how are you ever going to believe it when it tells you that Jesus rose from the dead?”

Paul had dark hair, which he parted to the left, and a penchant for pleated, polyester pants. (In his defense, this was the 1980s.) He was my introduction to a particularly flinty religious tradition.
