Rarebird, OT.

Rare, Anslem argument seems weak. It confuses the notion that understanding the definition of the word "infinite" with actual understanding of "infinite". The word infinite is just a way to say "not finite". Can't assume that the creation of the word equals understanding. When I say "teleportation" you understand what I mean, but that does not mean it exists.

Our understanding of finite does not come from an understanding of infinity, but from the recognition that there is usually some distance less finite or some amount of time less short. When Anslem said "we know ourselves as finite beings therefore a finite being exists" he was wasting his breath saying human beings were capable of imagining something or somebody capable of doing something that they are not currently capable of doing.

Darleen has already answered your question about manipulated. Besides, don't be dense - that is not the sense in which the word manipulated is used in markets. Let's see, would you argue that a monopoly can't manipulate a market?
