Hi DMB, As I approach my 80th birthday I have to agree with everything you have said. Still there is something in me that hollers Pay Attention! I do not expect a revelation. Speaker and audience have differing outlooks. Evolution is a nightmare yet very reasonable.
I don't think you value looking like a snob. I think your efforts have indicated you value truth. A question: What is the truth of evolution? if any? My answer: evolution describes discreet levels in existence. For me Essence is a meaningless word in evolutionary terms when placed beside the study of existence. Individuality, at least, has more letters than Essence. Joe On 3/21/12 1:20 PM, "david buchanan" <[email protected]> wrote: > > You don't need a Ph.D., Joe. But you do need to make sense.
