It seems that most theology conversations can be summarized as follows:

Side A: I belive X
Side B: I belive not X
Side A: please prove X
Side B: I can't, but prove not X
Side A: I can't

Theology might as well be defined as questions that can't be answered in 
a provable why but who's answers have unavoidable implications.
