Martin,
In my opinion, G*d isn't the "how". Physics is the "how".
G*d is the "what". There may not be any 'why' at all...... Is G*d in that
place, just outside the room, where we 'go' in shock, sleep, anethesia, and
ultimately, JoniFest? hee hee
Is it still a state of grace if there's nothing there? Is "OM" a something
or the absence of a thing? Is a breeze a thing if you never step outside it
to describe it? How can we forget something that we came from- to which we
will return? Is amnesia part of the bargin of awareness? What a cruel
trick that we are "aware" of *this* existance so.... acutely yet so un-aware
of the OM. Maybe being aware of this tiny amount is all that I can handle.
Maybe we get more later. "Guesses at most."
"So I send up my prayer
wonderin' who's there to hear?"
Lamadoo,
Newly re-united with an email account at home today and
sending a reply across the Atlantic, and it costs me.... almost
nothing...... and travels in a blink-k-k-k-
Then..... Martin, whom I've never met, sees me in my perplexed wonder.... A
thought without a corpus. (Sorry Colin. I had to use a 'fancy' word this
time.) Email is a *won*derful thing in several ways.... Thanks Les for
being the embodiment of delivering email to us.

One thing that leaves me dissatisfied with any 'higher power' explaination
is that really it doesn't explain 'why' or 'how'. Were are left guessing the
answer to the same question as we started with. My own gut feeling is that
there isn't a 'higher power'. But one thing that would really make me smile
would be if scientists actually come across proof of a 'creator'. (Could
actually track it down and point to it and say, "There it is").
Perhaps if and when we get to that point, said deity will reveal itself
fully and give us the answer to why we (and the rest of the universe) are
here.
Freeoow!
