Summary
Sending him the proof of his article and asking him to return it in a few days; discussing the "Teleological argument" and other arguments for the existence of God: "Are not the various arguments like diverse forces -- not intersecting but all pointing in the same direction"; drawing Knight's attention to some suggestions for changes that Allon has pencilled in on the proofs.
