[MD] Ideas and Gods

[Jon Bennett]

Hi Matt,
If you think its hooey, the only thing denied is a hearing of the facts.
And I understand there may be another way of understanding the facts, that
there could be other aspects or perspectives. But this is one, and its an
interesting one to me. Its fascinating that you can see the same ideas
showing up in physics as you see in art, as you see in music and the popular
culture and in the most serious science and philosophy, and that low and
behold, they parallel math, logic, theology and politics.

Hear the story before you reject it. Patience is and an open mind might be
the only principles you lack. Maybe more, but I'll start with those for
openers.
