Perhaps it's time to repeat once again what Bohr suggested Einstein might want to consider. "Who are you to tell God what to do?" http://www.xs4all.nl/~jcdverha/scijokes/9_2.html By all means, Thomas, express your opinions on how you believe the universe operates. We all indulge in the entertainment on occasion, myself included, though I must admit that Dougles Adams had a much better handle on the skill. ;-) ...Just as long as you remain honest with your audience and, more importantly, to yourself that what you have just expressed above is a religious belief, not one based on scientific inquiry. Looking at this issue from a slightly different angle I have no idea what religious persuasions Dr. Ed Storms might adhere to, or even if he has any. Dr. Storms will certainly correct me if I error on this point but I suspect he learned very early in his life the consequences of traveling down the road of conducting research within a framework of pre-conditioned religious beliefs, particularly as to what the outcome SHOULD reveal. I suspect it is difficult for many on the Vortex-l list to respect the positions of those like Stanford, or the "Cruncher", primarily because these individuals do not appear willing to personally risk engaging one of the most fundamental principals of scientific investigation: Questioning one's current opinions on how they believe the universe operates. This is a very old road that you and I have traveled down, Thomas. There is little desire on my part to suggest once again that you might actually benefit by opening up to a slightly less rigid perspective on how The Baker bakes her cookies, the ones we all enjoy eating. Previous discussions on similar topics have consistently rolled off you as quickly as water off the back of a duck. How unfortunate.
