He who is JohnGalt:

Why could you possibly think I mentioned Helen Keller in my last post?

You try to place Einstein's theory of relativity above "mere words," then go on to characterize it with mere words. Rather than limiting himself to a narrow, JohnGaltish perspective. Einstein simply asked "what if." He then pursued the possibilities despite his detractors' blatant contempt. While his perspective was radically different, it was all well within his vocabulary.

You cling to "indeterminancy" as a rationalization for ignorance, convinced that it is an essential, universal element to our existence ("It's not that I don't know. Things just happen, man.") What if it isn't? You would have been one of Albert's finest detractors. ("If I don't know, it ain't knowable.")

You still working on those mental exercizes I suggested? You didn't mention it in your snappy repartee.

Please refer me to the post where I mentioned that "all knowledge is contained in the Bible." Your continuing obsession (speaking of obsession) with the Bible is most interesting.

Indeterminately,
BJ
