I think the biggest challenge when confronting the wide territory we label religious or spiritual is not having all the answers but being able to figure out what the right questions even are.

Just for example, Bill points out he cannot speculate on how this all came to be--the (to us) towering beauty of the immense unreachable scope of physical things and spaces.

But perhaps a better question might be, how could any part of it come to be? Complex systems from simple algorithms arise, given enough transactions along fairly simple rules.

But it also seems to me that even the simplest rule-set would have to include the part played by the viewpoint in defining space and positing the particles within it.
