I believe this: Humans need to believe something at their core.
They may believe "I believe nothing". Ok, that is a central
belief to them. I'm ok with that.
For me, I believe Systems are amazing. I don't care what started
it. The Universe that matters to me started at the Protostar.
What came before that? It's interesting, but irrelevant to me.
I deal in facts as far as we can ascertain them. I say "Thanks"
because of a simple fact: I didn't do it.
I don't care what/who did. My "Thanks" is not wasted because
it's for my own psychological health. Generic Gratitude keeps me
from being a jerk. I'm not implying you are; you seem quite
civil. But we're not lawyers debating a "Case for God" - at
least I'm not. We're two ppl commenting on a thread started by
John Blaise Lent, each sitting in our respective homes at our
computers, tablets, whatever, throwing words in each others
direction, and awaiting responses.
