Thank you for the correction.

I didn't understand what you were saying about ‘nothing’. A difficult topic, I'm sure.

But I do understand what you are saying about proving God, or consciousness. Current scientific fashion holds both to be an illusion. But to what observer? Neither can we prove 'being', that is, objective existence. Ultimately some things [or at least one thing] MUST be taken as a given.

These things seem to be in themselves fairly simple. The trick seems to be getting people to actually think.

Truly sad isn't it? Even more sad is the fact that you will never get most people to truly think, because they loathe it, like freedom, which most men hate because it means responsibility. Easier to just let some authority make your decisions and do your thinking for you.

Happy thinking!

Hank
