Belief in God is rational. Everything has a cause. So unless there is a first cause, then you would have an infinite regress. And then nothing could exist. Therefore there must be a first cause. Therefore God, the first cause, exists. QED.

God created the world with two opposite sets of value--form and content
God created the world with two opposite sets of value--form and content. As you approach God, you are getting closer to content with no form. The Talmud occupies an area that is between pure content with no form, and the mode of justice. However there are other areas of value.
Where these areas of value intersect that is the halacha. So, to come to a true final halacha would require not just a source in Talmud, but also a way of dealing with the questions raised by John Locke and Hobbes about the nature of civil society, and justice in itself. Since no one since the time of the Rambam has had the stature to be able to deal with these questions in any coherent way, I consider the entire area of religious law to be in what is called "civil society"--that is an area free from cohesion. The purpose of government in my view is to protect society from outer and inner threats of crime. In a word you could say I am a Jeffersonian, but it would be more accurate to say I derive my views from Kant and John Locke.
