 Hi there Lee...

 Sometimes I think you let your wiser brother man your keyboard...:-)
                
 Let's see what I can pick at...

 His `whole understanding of nature'? What understanding is there of faith?
 Love? Memory? Consciousness? Spirituality?

 Man is pitiful. Hardly worth keeping alive... :-)

 There's also the interesting concept of various
 hierarchies in infinity. Alif sub 0, Alif sub 1...(as per Cantor)
 (And I am now over my head)

 ------
 Doubt is uncomfortable but certainty is absurd...

 I love the middle ground: I'm smart enough to provide myself with food,
 dumb enough to really enjoy my life :-)


 Cheers!

 Still trying to finad a copy of Hadith, elsewhere I'm told that it
 contains saying concerning `the return of Jesus, battling the Anti-Christ
 etc....and I'm VERY skeptical...
