I just read the first Q and A under the topic "Creation and Reality"; at the Langan website.

There he clearly explains the necessary interplay between freedom and constraint; limitless possibility evolving into various possibility-family-trees where anything self-consistent is still possible within the constraints of the tree's foundations (as I basically indicated in my Chess story).

See "Welcome to the "LIGHT" restaurant."

It's all in the New Testament actually: As I recall: "As you judge, so you are judged. As you consider bound on Earth, consider bound in Heaven. As you consider loosed on Earth, consider loosed in Heaven." Parables that puzzled the people with "The Kingdom of Heaven is like...." can be seen to readily relate to freedom, creation, difference, and modern physics puzzles.

Parable after parable reflects what Langan said in his answer.

I'm not sure if he knows the other stuff (about what babies know); but he is very good in the Question and Answer I just read now!

Thanks again.
