"Get it now?" What I get is that you don't get it. As I said before, facts are always qualified by the knowledge base. Facts derive from reason--even when they are later refuted or proven wrong. Superstitions, on the other hand DO NOT flow from reason. They derive from the irrational. Therefore, one always knows the difference between facts and superstition. "lot's of good reading on ALL the science related concepts I've mentioned" You've dropped off numerous "ideas" that were obviously meant to impress or to obscure sound argument. This is a favorite scheme of people who don't know what they are talking about. That is why when you throw out phonies like "interesting speculation" of such and such...I ask you what speculation you are referring to. I know it frustrates you to be asked to name your thoughts or to give some structure to your "ideas" so they may be meaningfully challenged or investigated. But I have no time to pander to your pretenses. When you demonstrate that you do not understand quantum mechanics and are called on it, your response is the juvenile, "ROFLMAO!!!" "For truth... just because it can't be said in words that you or I can understand doesn't make it 'not' the truth" Well, it makes it uncommunicable from yourself to me, doesn't it?? "Since thoughts or words are a subset of the universe, they can never fully describe the universe" Like fish are a subset of the ocean so they can never fully swim? You see, your premise is nonsensical. Words certainly have limitations but there is nothing profound in that. It does not mean that staring stupidly at your face in the mirror somehow transcends those limitations, now does it?? Just because our knowledge base is always conditional does not mean that DAK has some special knowledge not based on thoughts or ideas, does it?? "To which you, without fail, feel the need to reject the idea " Not at all. I've simply been asking you to say something if you have something to say. You have been mumbling and conflating terms, ideas, and beliefs. Nobody can investigate the value in ideas if one of the parties is being intentionally obscure, or is simply confused and unable to communicate clearly past the confusion and the bewilderment he feels. You have been running into this same response from Tigerpaw. That ought to give you a clue that it has something to do with YOU. "His relevance today is WAY overrated anyway" I don't know whose rating of relevance you are referring to (again, your inability to formulate and convey a clear thought) but there are many people who believe that their personal rating of Jesus as to relevance is not overrated.
