Well Steve, I see you have assimilated some of the characteristics of your accomplice Ian....please except my condolences.

I have been reading and doing some online research into the origins of the universe and find the sheer enormity of the thing is beyond perception. Some scientists believe that the universe may go on for ever?.....how does one come to terms with such a concept; and more importantly what is the benefit to humanity...which will in all probability be extinct in a few hundred years, of pondering the imponderable?

At least "faith" is more closely related to how we live the remainder of our time on this planet and serves a useful purpose in providing a much needed moral and social compass to humanity.
