Very deep and intellectual. I like it. If I were to guess, I'd bet your IQ is around 160? You are obviously extremely smart.

Thanks, Daniel. What's in a number? "Every excess causes a defect; every defect an excess. Every sweet hath its sour; every evil its good. Every faculty which is a receiver of pleasure has an equal penalty put on its abuse. It is to answer for its moderation with its life. For every grain of wit there is a grain of folly."--Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Thank you, Cheryl. Creationism with a small "c," as a matter of intent. I don't purport to know how it all came about, but I believe the universe has intelligence behind it.
