Thanks for giving me credit for the one statement you understand, Krimel. 
As I said to Ron, I'll be happy to answer any questions that will help you

Ok, lets stick with the statement that I might actually understand: "From
the perspective of Essence evolution is a fait accompli." I take this to
mean that you think time is fixed and absolute. Then you say the source is
timeless as through time does not exist at all. Which is it?
