John, to respond to simply one point in your msg #69, where you say, " John Galt did not introduce the subject of eternal life", I respond politely that you did, because the phrase you used, "life after death", is used synonomously and interchangeably with eternal life.
Perhaps I should comment on your assertion that "Dimensional theory... is mathematical dementia." Do you believe Albert Einstein was demented? It is commonly accepted, since Einstein's work, to refer to time as the fourth dimension. And that fourth dimension of time is highly relevant in the world of investing.
I know of an astrophysicist who is a Christian (became a Christian after becoming an astrophysicist) who is of the opinion that black holes perfectly fit the description Jesus gave of the bottomless pit. He said that a person's perception of something falling into a black hole would depend on whether that person was observing something falling into a black hole or whether he himself was the one having the experience of falling into the black hole. From a perspective of observing, the object or person observed falling would accelerate and disappear. (In agreement with the Bible's statement that all who die the "second death" of the bottomless pit would no more be seen) From the perspective of the someone falling into a black hole, the experience of accelerating into that dark place would be an experience that would literally go on forever .... eternally (In agreement with the Bible's description that the unhappy existence in the bottomless pit would be totally dark and forever).
