Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett ... speak as though the mystery of the extra-cosmic Absolute is now an irrelevancy and that complete mastery of the universe is within sight.... Just as it did for Plato, and indeed for Tertullian, the "impossible" and unknowable extra-cosmic Absolute solves the puzzle of infinite regress through a mysterious "act" of detachment from time and space, and anchors the universe. How it happens, I don't know --- and neither, my dear jenny, do you.

Me either, beckett. Thought these lines deserved a reprise. Thanks! best, bb.

Hi BB. You are such a thoughtful person. I need to be more like you!

I would re-write that post a little differently if I did it again, but thanks just the same for your words of approval.
