galaxy9: Perhaps if you could point out, with evidence, where my perspective is skewed I could learn from you. I say this in all honesty. What I've tried to do here is illustrate as best I can why I believe what I believe. I could clearly be in error; however, what I need to understand my error is some type of logical and consistent framework. It could well be that you've provided it and I've stupidly missed it; but given the other posts I don't think I'm necessarily alone in that.
