This is Fred ... hello again.

A great article Brenden. It get's to the obvious 'explanation' ... the one that most people are afraid to even contemplate for a single moment, maybe because they think that "hey, perhaps the truth I believe in will strike me down, or will turn out not-to-be-truth after all !" - the obvious explanation being that:

a) we don't know, absolutely, and

b) we are still very, very early-learners (about truth) in the fullness of evolutionary time and developments.

By the way Brenden, I am still following you (as you can see). Have you found time to check out my stories yet? Hope you like them ... (some are serious, like this one of yours, others are fun reads, though my 'truths' are never far from the reader's eye or mind). If you do have time, perhaps you could click my 'follow' button.

Anyway, all the best to you and yours - and, Happy New Year.

Fred
