Hi Dick,

>>>Let us speak of “the basis for existence”. I hold that no matter what any discussion concerns, if one proceeds towards underlying basics, one will eventually reach a point where the only rational answer is “I do not understand that”. That point I refer to as the Great Original Dilemma. I claim that issue is your fundamental basis for existence. I am quite willing to use the shorthand “God” to represent that concept so long as you admit you do not understand the powers of “God”.>The thing I argue with is the stupidity of claiming to be able to explain what you do not understand! If you are intelligent you will cease with the comment “I do not understand that!” At that point, there is nothing more to say!
