Do you type all that, or transcribe from speech? Just reading it tires me out .. I can’t imagine typing that much. Boilerplate?

I don’t need to do that. I have faith. It also is correct the Sun does NOT COME UP. The horizon rotates down. ( I also believe in a zoo of subatomic particles, which I have not seen ….).

I know the dinosaur piloting the ship is just and artist’s illustration on an Analog magazine cover, but because of subduction I DO NOT KNOW that that could have never happened in epochs past.

You have a 100% valid EXPECTION that the sun will come up tomorrow. Faith would require a lack of evidence.…. And besides, the sun is not coming up …. The horizon is rotating down. You don’t BELIEVE it is “coming up”. You KNOW it is “coming up”. ….. based on 3-1/2 billion years of FAITH in hard evidence, which someone else figured out.

Even “hard evidence”, depending on what it is, how it is evaluated, and who is doing the evaluation, and what their objectivity, unconscious agenda, and dozens of other factors is, is open to interpretation. What is the Bible? it depends on who you ask. What is the Bible? It is a compiled book, assembled by the Catholic Church from shorter books. Any other qualifications are based entirely on your experience, and faith. Consider this: Even the Bible says you must have faith in unseen, unprovable things … otherwise … it would not be faith! Would it?

It’s so hard to get a solid foundation without any smidgen of physical evidence. Not a drop! I guess that’s why they call it “faith”. What with plate tectonic subduction and whatnot, this has always been a problem. In the billions of years of life on Earth, all evidence could have been subducted and is now back as magma.

What happens next? ”And lo, in the fullness of time, A great Profit arose from among the great unlubricated Robot masses, bringing for their salvation Pudgy’s Robot Oil which was good for 500,000 steps between oil changes, but a great lamentation arose, with weeping (accelerating rust) and rending of … what? …. get to the point? …. Hey! I’m working on it … oh yeah! … same to you buddy! What?, are you NUTS? …. Yo Momma was made of cast iron! Hahahahaa!. Where was I ? Oh Hell …. I forgot.

As a SCUBA diver the basic principle that makes it work is you keep the pressure inside your self equal to the pressure on the outside, and you don’t get crushed. The best example I have ever seen to illustrate this is the 1989 movie “The Abyss”.….. same idea.

Noah did not know when it was Jehovah’s time to close up the Ark, but the Penguins did. Apparently several years in advance. ….. it takes a long time to swim and walk from Antarctica to the Middle East where the Ark was. And the Kangaroos in Australia had to walk and hop the whole way across Asia to get there … and walk and hop all the way back! My guess is four years, each way if they could hop through winter snows.

Well, I try to “Be Prepared” as the Boy Scout motto suggests, although they hardly prepared for the septic quagmire of mental cases they became, long after I left. it’s customary for me to have lots of yellow construction twine in the left rear pocket of my Levi’s, with a bit hanging out, tied to that day’s hunk-o-ham. …. Which they THINK goes to the string in my pocket.

Yeah, like most crazy people I shudder and cringe at a string of asterisks …. Which reminds me of the time I tied a block of ham on the end of a long string, and one at a time, fed it to some ducks (… Ducks cannot digest ham, so you just rinse it off and feed it to the next duck …) After you get six ducks on the string, tie the ends together and run ‘em in a circle, quacking with a lisp.

Years ago, I got a call to go to San Francisco for an engineering job that was supposed to take six months at Parsons Brinckerhoff. With my trusty HP41CX calculator I finished it in about six weeks. The boss that hired me went to Denver and forgot about me. Meanwhile, the project was winding down and people were being laid off. I used to be the first one in the office (..and therefore had to make the coffee …), and when others arrived my desks were filled with plans, sketches, calc sheets and curly paper strips from my calculator’s printer. I was always busy doing calcs and sketches. Nobody knew what I was working on, but it looked important! People would ask for help, and I said sorry, I’m trying to make a deadline here … One fellow asked me how long I was going to be here, as every Friday the office lost people. I replied “Well, they promised me six months, but I’m hoping it will be longer than that!”. (Actually, nobody promised me anything …). So, for about 5 months I worked on my own stuff, and taught myself Structural Engineering, being paid very well as a “Consultant”. I felt I was in a Dilbert Cartoon! Well, with only about 15 people left, six months rolled by and to the day, I also got laid off, and drove back to Virginia. Sometimes, doing nothing works out well!

It would take a month to reply to that, so I will just say “HOLY HAND GRENADE!” Who would have thought this incredible technology in common use is all based on fake science? -

I was willing to accept the possibility that you were smarter than me, boiled, but then I remembered a fellow I used to know named George, who had a doctorate in architectural engineering. The last I saw him he was having a conversation, lamenting his lot in life to a sandwich vending machine. -
