Bill, you are mistaking my goodwill toward Dave for fuzzy thinking. ;-) Uncle Dave-O decided to be nasty and sarcastic to me and imply that I respect only ideas and opinions which are identical to my own. I decided to be friendly and noncombative in return rather than hurling a similar barb back at him. And that's really all there is to it. I like a world with many different ideas and opinions being expressed.

If, however, you want a deeply serious dissertation from me on what I mean when I use the phrase "higher levels of understanding" in regards to science and spirituality ....and I really doubt that you do...well but if you do, just say "please, pretty please", and I'll do my best to try and come up with one for you.

But keep in mind, Bill... My knowledge and abilities are necessarily limited. I may not be able to totally satisfy your requirements or your expectations.
