[Platt]
Can you pass on his answers in a few sentences? Or does he beat around the
bush?

[Krimel]
Craig, don't waste your time. It's been tried before. 

Platt, if you aren't going to make an effort to educate yourself, you can
just continue to make the kinds of ignorant statements you so dearly love
making.

> But only science (& not metaphysics) has the answer to your question.

[Platt]
The beginning of life was my question. As you say to Krimel below, see
"Lila."

[Krimel]
Where in Lila does Pirsig talk about the beginning of life?
