Hi MP, 

Excellent. That puts it in a nutshell. Some things some people just cannot 
see or refuse to see because it would destroy their belief system. Like the 
scientist who asserts confidently that the world consists solely of matter 
and energy, an assertion that consists of neither matter nor energy. The 
loftiest concept is built on the sand of an assumption based on faith. 
There is no escape.
