Bertrand Russell was once asked about the difference between theology
and philosophy. I believe that he replied that theologians knew the
answer (Jesus is the answer! What was the question? to quote the bumper
sticker) but just had to work out how to get there. On the other hand
philsophers did not know where their logic would take them.

I remember hearing this on a radio programme many years ago. It was also
said that Principia Mathematica devotes more than a hundred pages to
establishing that one plus one equals two.

Philip.
