Marsha:
When you wrote, at 02:19 PM 6/27/2009, that all concepts were 
secondary, did you mean secondary to 'reality', or something else?

Science, as a collection of scientists, builds on a previous set of 
analogies, analogy supported by analogy supported by analogy all the 
way down to no-thing.  Or do you think there is some thing at the 
bottom???  Quarks and leptons for instance?  -  The answers reached 
are, more or less, guaranteed by the method and questions asked.

(The way you chopped up this stream of posts makes it difficult to 
follow.)

Marsha:
It is an honest question to someone who uncritically supports science 
while belittling the slightest support for any kind of mystical 
experience.  Thank goodness I can run you down the drain like cold 
water; it's really a mystical miracle.
