Hello VR! So glad you enjoyed your vino last evening! It is said, “in vino veritas.”

It was only two serving-size containers of Chateau Slopbucket Merlot.

But I think you missed the point that Grandpierre was making regarding Finite Existence and Infinity...

I could understand you thinking that.

All existing things are finite, because they are in time... etc. etc.

You generate this stuff rather better than I do. I bow before you and AG!

... It is said that the human body replaces all its cells periodically, that is every 7 years...

I think I heard that about replacing molecules, not cells. Some of our cells are relatively irreplaceable once we are grown. Central nervous system neurons would be an example, if I recall correctly.

... We are in the domain of cosmological speculation here, and perhaps this sort of thing is not to your taste anyway.

This may be the real problem. My eyes simply glaze over on reading any text which is overly abstract. That probably makes me a concrete-head!

Nah. May it's just some people are born to be scientists, and some people are born to be philosophers.... Two different ways of looking/seeing, I guess. But both are ultimately looking at the same thing.... I think it's fairly rare to find a person who can easily go it "both ways".... On the other hand, I see no reason why the two sides should be at war with each other....

Thanks so much for writing, VR!

I stand corrected, VR! Thanks!
