<< Father T: Our inability to imagine a concept, for example, how humans evolved or how the world evolved does not mean that the problem will never be solved. >> Mephisto, When Nixon called for a war on cancer, I recall that a lot of cancer researchers were saying that the problem would never be solved because cancer was too complicated to understand, and that cancer would always remain incurable, no matter how much money was spent on it. I am glad that there are scientists who disregard those who would limit them. When somebody says that something is unknowable, or that can't be done, it is only a statement of their own ability. Del

Mephisto: <<Our inability to imagine a concept, for example, how humans evolved or how the world evolved does not mean that the problem will never be solved.>> Mephisto, again, John Galt does not disagree with you. But, it is precisely in your inability to grasp the true depth of the question you are asking that is the problem here. Indeed, the question of existence cannot even be properly formulated let alone answered. Your optimism is appealing, but even optimism must be rational. Please note: Father Terrence acts only as medium for the spirit of John Galt upon these threads. He is of his own mind and may or may not agree with John Galt statements. Please address John Galt when responding to his statements. Thank you. John Galt
