Re: Yes, but...

Having spent all my life thinking like Steve, and saying things like you say - "we're all meaningless blobs of water" I'm now having second thoughts and wondering if I entirely grasped the full meaning of the universe!

Our view is currently based on early twenty first century science which, on a longer view, is probably pitifully underdeveloped. I saw a TV programme about Time and String Theory. One speculation is that there may be as many as 34 dimensions. Disappearing farmers may have multiple exit strategies. I'm not saying I believe it, or don't, or that I understand it. Just that the logical standpoint, in an infinite universe, is extreme intellectual humbleness.
