Why? Well let me enlighten you.

If someone wanted to believe in Cod they would, its as simple as that. Most people that dont believe in Cod list lack of taste as why. Now, it is of my opinion that nothing short of the alfishy itself coming out from the rivers and greeting the fictional person in question would do. And I also believe that if this happened, they would try to dismiss it as halibut, tuna, salmon, or would deny it all together as their entire existance up to this point revolved around the fact that there is no Cod. Now for the believers (such as myself) they accept faith as proof enough, wheter you be a fisherman, fishmonger, fish eater, w/e. And it is also my opinion that Cod as a supernatural fish is illogical (Unless it's the Jesus fish :D)

Speaking of fish.

"The bird is a captive in the air and the fish a captive in the sea. Man alone stands apart and says to the elements, I will make you my servants! I can govern you! He takes electricity, and through his ingenuity imprisons it and makes of it a wonderful power for lighting, and a means of communication to a distance of thousands of miles. But man himself may become a captive to the things he has invented. His true second birth occurs when he is freed from all material things: for he only is free who is not a captive to his desires. He has then as Jesus has said, become captive to the Holy Spirit."

(Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 87)

1 tsp every day it was, and it tasted horrible. Nevertheless, as I child of faith I took it dutifully because the consequences of refusing it were so horrible.
