Amos. You are quite wrong in trying to caricature me as a gross materialist. Like you I am a musician. What I create is ephemeral and non-material yet profoundly real.
   It is deeply arrogant to dismiss the evolutionary processes that gave rise to human and animal intelligence as "dull mechanics". It might be dull to you, but some of us are interested in how the Universe made us.
   Of coarse it is your right to pursue other "notions" not supported by evidence, and like an Ostrich burry your head in a nice patch of warm sand.
That's not enough for me.
         All the best PP.
