Even if there was a requirement, how would we know it?

->  That's a relative term, anyway.  :-)

I agree.

->  This might be a perfect universe. <g>

Perhaps perfect in it's imperfections.  It's imperfections may be so 
perfect that the universe still works.  

That would be some feat for Microsoft. <g>

I translate that into "I hope we continue to refuse to accept the 
supporters of divine perfection".  But the above is a, really busy 
sentence spoken in the language of an immortal so I am sure I am wrong.

->  What are the implications?

The sentence itself?  Sorry, I have to admit that I am at a loss as to the 
intent.

->  I'll have those posts from the archives soon.

Thanks.
