Liz,

Well, that's just a shame. I read the REAL SCIENTIST's summary of his survey of world religions, and was hardly impressed with his grasp of the subject matter and the quality of his analysis, so to engage in a dialogue with him that introduces metaphysics would be rather droll, IMO.

As to our discussion, it has been a good exercise for me, and thank you for your (and Auntie's) participation. Seriously. It reminds me of an axiom I heard recently:

"If every one is thinking the same thing, then no one is thinking."

It's a good thing we didn't have consensus.

If you were a betting man, by the end of this century whose notion of the nature of existence would you bet will be considered more valid: yours (and the traditionally held model) or mine?

Later.
