Both.
Okay, I'll give the short version.
Gene Callahan: The Apostles' Creed really means that I believe I can understand the world.
Me: Look, another case of someone reading something into a religious text that isn't there, this time a serious intellectual.
Background: Apostles' Creed, Tsuyoku Naritai

Just something I thought I might add to the annals of cases where someone tries to re-interpret an old religious text to mean something more acceptable to the modern ear, in contradiction to what most people (especially its contemporaries) think the texts mean. And this is not some random person, but Gene Callahan, who makes sure you understand he holds a doctorate in philosophy, and pretty much makes a career out of defending this and anti-reductionist views in general. Here's the post:
I suggested that this is not what most people mean when they say the Creed, but (surprise) the comment was deleted.
(Yes I know Tsuyoku Naritai is not quite the same as Callahan's interpretation, but it's the closest short LW term for the general idea.)
