Hi DB, no I don’t. I ‘believe’ in its improbability, if you’re talking voices out of a burning bush. On the other hand, I would look for some commonality in the revelations to different peoples at different times. I would, for instance, strongly reject the notion of a chosen people, or a chosen time, for such revelation. I would also be very wary of any categorisation of the notion ‘divine’. Different levels of consciousness, yes. ‘God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth’, perhaps a little too simplistic. Final cause ? The ‘divine revelation’ as understood by Hindu Yogis tempts me more than any other.
